how can get get unrevised ILInet values at the region level? #31

Hello,

I wonder if this package can be used to retrieve the "unrevised" ILInet percentages (either at the state or HHI level) over time.

I know I can get the data from https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/fluportaldashboard.html but the values reported there are the final, gold-standard, values that may have been revised over time. Given that the unrevised values (only known at time T) are relevant for forecasting, I wonder if FluSight can help with that.

Thanks!!

You want to be using the delphi epidata API: https://github.com/cmu-delphi/delphi-epidata

Nice idea to integrate it into this package, but might be a bit out of scope for what this package is designed to do.

Hi @nickreich thanks for your quick reply. I have posted an issue there (on delphi-epidate) as it is not clear to me how to pull this data. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

In any case, keep up the good work! thanks!
