Request for setting up a data scraper for Tamil Nadu COVID bed availability

[Arun Ganesh]

The TN govt maintains a regularly updated list of hospital bed capacity throughout the state, but the interface has been terrible for people to quickly find the info they need.

https://stopcorona.tn.gov.in/beds.php

Is there anyone who can put together a scraper to gather the data and dump a csv regularly on github? Just the github csv interface will already be hugely helpful for someone to filter through this data and would be in very heavy demand right now.

Hi Arun,

I have taken a crack at this:

https://github.com/devdattaT/TN-Beds-Status/tree/main

Can you tell me how frequently this server gets updated? I will try to automate the script accordingly.

Regards,

Devdatta

Found something similar for Andhra Pradesh: http://dashboard.covid19.ap.gov.in/ims/hospbed_reports/ -click on district to see list of hospitals (from a tweet back in August 2020). Has no Last-updated-date value. 

Unsure if this is still reflecting updated info. Is there way to tell when the tables are last updated?

Hi,

Tracking the official sources for beds that I come across in this thread here. Please add if you find more and share with those who might find this of any use.

Thanks.

Hey. Is it possible to preserve the historical data in a separate CSV? Useful for looking at the time series.
