Where is L3 data for Australia available??

themonk911 commented 4 years ago

The previous poster had the following links associated with the request,

https://www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert/coronavirus-covid-19-current-situation-and-case-numbers

https://www.health.gov.au/resources/total-covid-19-recovered-cases-in-australia

But it doesn't look like historical data is easily available - there are lots of Power BI dashboards that do have the data.

This source has aggregated timeseries data from the Victoria Govt Power BI dashboard https://covid19-esriau.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/historical-active-cases-by-lga-for-victoria. But the licence is missing/confusing.

Since the data is originally from the Govt source, would it still be okay to use?

themonk911 commented 4 years ago

@owahltinez just a ping on the licensing question above - the last linked data source scrapes the govt website (which updates daily). However the "custom licence" terms says "Reference purposes only. Use DHHS for authoritative source".

owahltinez commented 4 years ago

Unfortunately the "custom license" means that we'll have to ask them for written approval prior to using their data source.

Is there any way we can get the data out of Power BI? Some other dashboards I've seen communicate with the data server via JSON.

themonk911 commented 4 years ago

The dashboard itself is only a current snapshot - the source has been scraping it for historical data from the start.

I found historical data for NSW from the NSW state govt here https://data.nsw.gov.au/data/dataset/aefcde60-3b0c-4bc0-9af1-6fe652944ec2.
