Hi, my name is CCODWG-bot! 🤖
I am made up of a set of GitHub Actions workflows meant to assist with the maintenance of the datasets put out by the COVID-19 Canada Open Data Working Group.
I am retired as of February 2024, but you can read about my previous duties below.
My two most important tasks are:
- 📈 Running the daily updates for
CovidTimelineCanada
(Timeline of COVID-19 in Canada) - 🗃️ Running the nightly update for
Covid19CanadaArchive
(Canadian COVID-19 Data Archive)
To update the Timeline of COVID-19 in Canada, I rely on the R packages Covid19CanadaETL
, Covid19CanadaData
and Covid19CanadaDataProcess
to pull from and harmonize Canadian COVID-19 data from dozens of sources!
To update the Canadian COVID-19 Data Archive, I use the Python package archivist
. This allows me to save snapshots of hundreds of datasets, websites and reports to a public repository every night!
These efforts are part of the What Happened? COVID-19 in Canada project.
