Covid-19 vs Slicebox API
If you need a Health API that's easy to integrate, go with Covid-19.
Slicebox API
Slicebox - safe sharing of medical images
Covid-19
- No authentication required
- HTTPS supported
- CORS enabled for frontend use
Slicebox API
- Simple API key authentication
- No HTTPS support
| Feature | Covid-19 | Slicebox API |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | None | apiKey |
| HTTPS | Yes | No |
| CORS | Yes | Unknown |
When to use which?
Covid-19 is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. Covid-19 works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps. Covid-19 supports HTTPS, which is required for production deployments and secure data handling.
