Basic Usage

Global Tracking

To track COVID-19 cases on CLI globally, all you need to do is to use CURL or WGET command.

CURL

curl -L covid19.trackercli.com

WGET

wget -i https://covid19.trackercli.com && cat index.html

HTTPie

# visit httpie.org
http http://covid19.trackercli.com

Country Tracking

To track COVID-19 cases on CLI by country, all you need to do is to append the URL with the country name or country ISO 3166-1 code.

Country Name

# example usage
curl -L covid19.trackercli.com/philippines

Country ISO 3166-1 Code

# /ph or /phl is ISO 3166 code of the Philippines
curl -L covid19.trackercli.com/ph

Country with History Chart

# shows result with history chart
curl -L covid19.trackercli.com/history/ph
# shows by default a history chart
curl -L covid19.trackercli.com/history/ph/cases
# shows result with history chart
curl -L covid19.trackercli.com/history/ph/deaths

Advance Usage

Check Update Automagically

# check update every 10 seconds (where -n 10 is the interval)
watch -n 10 "curl -L covid19.trackercli.com"

# for more advance setup (where -s is to suppress curl's progress bar)
watch -c -n 600 "curl -s -L covid19.trackercli.com/<country>"

Create a Shortcut Command

# set a desired alias for the command (replace endcov with your desired alias)
# this will give you a global update
# alias <your alias>="curl https://covid19.trackercli.com"

alias endcov="curl https://covid19.trackercli.com"

# if you want to track a specific country
# alias <your alias>< coutry alias>="curl https://covid19.trackercli.com/< name, ISO2, ISO3 here>"
