Overview#

The CDC - National Environmental Public Health Tracking API provides access to a treasure trove of environmental and public health data. Harness this API to monitor trends, perform analyses, and spark proactive interventions. It's a goldmine for public health officials, researchers, and policy makers, offering data on air quality, water contaminants, climate change, and disease statistics. Leverage Pipedream's platform to automate data retrieval, gain insights, and connect with other services for a seamless data-driven decision-making process.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    cdc_national_environmental_public_health_tracking: {
      type: "app",
      app: "cdc_national_environmental_public_health_tracking",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://ephtracking.cdc.gov/apigateway/api/v1/contentareas/json`,
      params: {
        apiToken: `${this.cdc_national_environmental_public_health_tracking.$auth.api_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Automated Health Alerts System: Use the API to monitor environmental health hazard data like air pollution levels. When certain thresholds are exceeded, trigger an automated alert through services like Twilio or SendGrid to inform local authorities and public health officials, enabling swift action to protect communities.
Environmental Data Dashboards: Fetch environmental data periodically and pipe it into data visualization tools such as Google Sheets or Tableau. Create live dashboards that policymakers and the public can use to understand current environmental conditions and long-term trends, supporting informed decision-making and awareness.
Chronic Disease Correlation Analysis: Combine CDC environmental data with health data from other APIs to analyze correlations between environmental conditions and chronic disease prevalence. Schedule regular data retrieval and use a tool like Python or R within Pipedream to conduct statistical analyses, which can then inform public health strategies.
