More frequent updates request

[LesnyRumcajs]

Perhaps hourly / every two hours? So far it's the best tool out there except for the severely outdated information.

Thanks, @LesnyRumcajs

I will try and see what can be done. But John Hopkins data is updated every 24 hours which I am using. You can check it out here

Ah, I thought there are more sources and / or the data source is updated more often. Makes more sense now. Thanks!

@LesnyRumcajs I will be adding the latest news/updates command today. That will help with the discrepancy.

Something that is updated more often is https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ but I'm not sure you can use their data.

@Empty2k12 They dont have an official API, sadly. I am looking for a realtime tracking API, especially because the new cases are coming up so fast. 😢

[LesnyRumcajs]

This page https://covid-19-sars.pl/ uses some allegedly WHO data from: https://coronavirus-19-api.herokuapp.com (which is supposed to be on par with worldometers), updated every 15 minutes. But it doesn't go nicely with curl. :(

@LesnyRumcajs API looks good. I will try to integrate it tomorrow.

Added a secondary API realtime updates. #60
