        Sorry to hear you’re in hospital! Hopefully it’s nothing to serious.

        I tried…

        https://coronavirus-monitor.p.rapidapi.com/coronavirus/united_states_cases.php&api_key=xxx

        and received.

        {“message”:“Invalid API key. Go to https://docs.rapidapi.com/docs/keys for more info.”}

        RapidAPI does see it’s free service. I’ve amened the entries in node_helper.js back to the their defaults but still no joy there. Very strange.

          @dubalda free and requiring a key are different.

          if u require a key you know who consumes your service

          i said dont take my words exactly.

          what does the service say is the apikey parameter name, exact spelling

          this aint magic, its grunt work getting the parms right

          i do my.own covid charts MyCovid19, see

          https://github.com/sdetweil/MyCovid19

          they have changed the data on me 3 times in a year. hard to keep up

            I’ve tried…

            curl -H “x-rapidapi-host: coronavirus-monitor-v2.p.rapidapi.com” -H “x-rapidapi-key: xxx” ‘https://coronavirus-monitor-v2.p.rapidapi.com/coronavirus/cases_by_country.php’

            And have copied the key (copy/paste) exactly from the website but get the message…

            “message”:“You are not subscribed to this API.”

            I think I’ll just get the Covid numbers from the news! Thanks for your help @sdetweil !

                  @sdetweil I think the issue was due to the api having to be paid for. In the end I changed to MMM-COVID19-SPARKLINE which working fine. Thanks for your help!
