ERTrack API

To return to the live map, visit ertrack.net
At this time we are supporting two API endpoints:

To see all hospitals:

  https://ertrack.net/api/hospitals/

This will return a JSON object of all facilities tracked with fields:

Field	Explanation	Type	Example
hospital_id	Unique ID for querying data from ERTrack	Integer	“347”
hospital_name	Name of facility	String	“Medical City Weatherford”
address	Street address of facility	String	“713 East Anderson Street, Weatherford, TX 76086”
lat	Latitude	Float	“32.748191”
lng	Longitude	Float	“-97.78565”
county	County in which facility is located	String	“Parker”
state	State in which facility is located	String	“TX”
fips	15 digit FIPS code	String	“483671402003000”

To get metadata of a single facility:

  https://ertrack.net/api/hospital/{hospital_id}/metadata/

Returns a JSON object with the metadata for hospital with a given hospital_id, containing the same fields as above.

To get the wait time history of a single facility:

  https://ertrack.net/api/hospital/{hospital_id}/history/

Returns a JSON object with the history for hospital with a given hospital_id, containing the same fields as above.

Field	Explanation	Type	Example
observation_times	List of times for which we have observations	List of time strings	[“2020-03-26 20:35:34+00:00”, “2020-03-26 20:50:34+00:00”, …]
wait_time_mins	Value in minutes (-1 if facility closed at that time)	List of integers	[“10”, “11”, “7”,… ]

Limitations

Different facilities have different history lengths, depending on how long they have been in our database. The times are all based on public feeds from the facilities and different facilities may construe “wait time” to mean different things. By “wait time” some facilities mean time to next appointment, while others mean “time to intake for walk-ins”. For this reason we urge caution when comparing between different facilities.
