What I built
A Covid-19 Aware WebApp. Basically, the user subscribe on the website with phone number and they receive Covid-19 daily stats. This Webapp helps user to be aware of total cases in Mozambique.
I've build an API that use data extracted from the Mozambique Health Institute website (https://covid19.ins.gov.mz) using web scraping technique.
Using Twilio Programmable SMS API, it sends the daily updates to the users via SMS (Mozambique Only) and using Twilio API for WhatsApp + Twilio Autopilot API it send statistics and FAQ's via WhatsApp (Worldwide)
Category Submission: Interesting Integrations
