Migrate to use CDC data for Hospital Locations. #50

Open kevinjcliao opened 3 years ago

kevinjcliao commented 3 years ago

Background

Our priority now is working on government-paid vaccinations as self-paid vaccinations are no longer available.

This Issue:

Instead of reading our data from hospitals.csv, read it from hospitals.json. This contains updated data from the CDC. Join it with the scraped data to get up-to-date information.

Timeline:

Kevin is free to take a look at this after work tomorrow. If someone wants to try it out beforehand, please go ahead.

Data Source:

The CDC maintains a list of hospitals that have AZ Vaccines. If you POST request it with the parameters: bottom=0&left=0&right=1000&top=1000, then you'll get all the hospitals that currently offer government-paid vaccines.
