CDC API - Public Health & Disease Data
Access CDC public health data including disease surveillance, vaccination rates, mortality statistics, and health indicators. Track outbreaks, chronic diseases, and population health metrics.
Note: Demo Mode is off by default, so runs fetch real data. Set demoMode to true to get free sample data instead.
Quick Start
Test with Demo Mode (free, no API key needed)
Run with real data

Data sources and limits (updated 2026-10-15)
Data comes from these data.cdc.gov datasets (no key needed). state takes a two-letter code or full name, year and disease filter where the dataset has those columns, and rows come back in a data array exactly as CDC publishes them.

get_disease_data | NNDSS Weekly Data (x9gk-5huc) |
get_vaccination_rates | Influenza Vaccination Coverage for All Ages (vh55-3he6) |

get_chronic_disease | U.S. Chronic Disease Indicators (hksd-2xuw) |
get_environmental_health | Daily County-Level PM2.5 Concentrations 2001-2022 (53mz-4zqd) |

Pricing
| Event | When it is charged | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Actor start | Once when the run starts, one event per GB of memory (minimum one). At the default 256 MB of memory that is $0.10 per run | $0.10 per GB |
| Get Disease Data | Infectious disease surveillance data by state and condition. Track flu, COVID, hepatitis, and other reportable diseases | $0.01 |
| Get Vaccination Rates | Immunization coverage rates by vaccine, age group, and state. Monitor childhood and adult vaccination trends | $0.01 |
| Get Mortality Data | Death statistics by cause, age, and geography. Leading causes of death and mortality rate trends | $0.01 |
| Get Chronic Disease Data | Prevalence data for diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and other chronic conditions by state | $0.01 |
| Get Environmental Health | Air quality, water safety, and environmental health indicators. Lead exposure and pollution metrics | $0.01 |

| Get Health Indicators | Key population health metrics including life expectancy, infant mortality, and behavioral risk factors | $0.01 |
| Result | Each item written to the default dataset | $0.00001 |
Each successful live call charges one event named after the task you ran (prices are on the Pricing tab), plus the standard Actor start fee. Not charged: Demo Mode runs, calls that fail or return an error row, and calls that return no rows.
Troubleshooting
"API error 429" or "Rate limit"
Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.
No results or empty dataset
Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:
- Invalid input format (check the examples above)
- The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track
How do I test without an API key?
Enable Demo Mode in the input. This returns realistic sample data so you can verify the output format works for your workflow.
