ipcoronafs

ipcoronafs is a tool to scrape information from coronavirus api tracker using go-corona and storing it on IPFS through TemporalX. It expects a locally running TemporalX server, but can be be configured to use a remote one..

Overview

For an overview of this see medium

Workflow

• Every 60 minutes we use the go-corona client to fetch the "latest location data" and "all location data" sources.
• These are then added to IPFS and the hash is broadcast over libp2p pubsub topics
• Every minute we then rebroadcast the lastest known hash, which gets updated every 60 minutes
• Every 12 hours or so update the DNSLink record

Real Time Information

We are broadcasting updates to this in somewhat real-time. You can connect to two different pubsub topics.

To retrieve updates for all known location outbreak information do:

1) ipfs swarm connect /ip4/206.116.153.42/tcp/4005/p2p/12D3KooWLrKQEE5NfA3vmEXfRFWKzNjq7DuwVS9CsZ8ooPe7sZFM

2) ipfs swarm connect /ip4/206.116.153.42/tcp/4004/ipfs/QmePr8gxUswSsD7anQCm8P1F599CrmK2Wze1DjoN8LaLAx

3) ipfs pubsub sub coronavirus-all-location-data-topic and then within about a minute you should start seeing the data coming through.

4) ipfs pin add <hash from pubsub message> and you'll then be pinning the data locally

3) ipfs pubsub sub coronavirus-latest-location-data-topic and then within about a minute you should start seeing the data coming through.
