# United States Covid19 Stats To Google Spreadsheets #
Grabs stats about number of cases, deaths, and more for the United States and individual states. After returning data the data is saved into a private Google spreadsheet.
## Getting Started ##
1. Install Selenium Web Driver for your OS
2. Install all packages `npm install`
3. Create a new Google Spreadsheet doc with a sheet for the US total and each state
4. Make sure that the column headers match the object property names
5. Follow the authentication service account steps: https://theoephraim.github.io/node-google-spreadsheet/#/getting-started/authentication
6. Save credentials from Google API to `./credentials.json`
7. Replace Google sheet ID in `./index.json`
8. Go to document share > share with service email address
9. If you need to update with past records go to http://coronavirusapi.com/, find state, and save as CSV.
- If you open this in Excel you can convert the Unix time to simple date (use resource link below)
