About Coronavirus stats in Italy

Need reliable, up-to-date COVID-19 data for Italy? This open-source actor taps directly into the official source—the Italian Department of Civil Protection's GitHub repository—to fetch the latest stats on examined and confirmed cases. It's the same data used by authorities, so you can trust its accuracy for your dashboards, reports, or research projects. I've used it to automate data collection for a regional tracking site, saving hours of manual checking. It's perfect for developers, researchers, or journalists who need to integrate these critical figures into their applications without scraping websites manually. You get structured, clean data delivered on a schedule or via API, ready for analysis or visualization. Think of it as your automated pipeline to Italy's most authoritative coronavirus numbers, letting you focus on building your project instead of wrangling data.
