Bot COVID

What I built

Category Submission: COVID-19 Communications

This is whatsapp bot that I made with the help of Flask and Twilio's messaging API. It gives information about the current COVID status in all over the world. One can narrow down the search by providing particular place name or date. It also gives a list of verified oxygen cylinder resources and hospitals or clinics with avialable COVID bed based on the geographic location. The main purpose of this app is to help people for accessing the verified data so that they can resolve their issues.

How I built it

The app uses Twilio's messaging API to create a WhatsApp bot. The bot runs in the backend which is made by Flask, and it is responsible for collecting all the messaging queries and giving appropriate responses. Also, the backend invokes multiple web crawlers that extract data from verified resources
