The Outlook News Group's COVID-19 case and death data scraper, which automatically scrapes the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health website every hour and adds it to a CSV file. Currently, the automation only scrapes data for Glendale and Burbank cities.
A separate CSV file containing minor analyses for the Burbank data (new cases tracker and a seven-day moving average) is also produced.
Data collected prior to Jan. 11, 2022, (valid_thru = 2022/01/09) was scrapped manually. No entries for Glendale were collected.
Data is visualized via Flourish and published here.
The scraper was made by Christian Leonard, senior staff writer at the Outlook News Group.
