COVID-19 Mobility Data Aggregator. Scraper of Google, Apple, Waze and TomTom COVID-19 Mobility Reports
This is a repository with a data scraper of Mobility Reports and reports in different formats.
Data reports are no longer updated.
In early April 2020, Google started publishing an early release of COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports to provide insights into what has changed in response to work from home, shelter in place, and other policies aimed at flattening the curve of this pandemic. These reports have been developed to be helpful while adhering to our stringent privacy protocols and policies.
These Community Mobility Reports aim to provide insights into what has changed in response to policies aimed at combating COVID-19. The reports chart movement trends over time by geography, across different categories of places such as retail and recreation, groceries and pharmacies, parks, transit stations, workplaces, and residential.
Update interval: The Community Mobility Reports are no longer being updated as of 2022-10-15.

The CSV file shows a relative volume of directions requests per country/region or city compared to a baseline volume on January 13th, 2020.
Day defined as midnight-to-midnight, Pacific time. Cities represent usage in greater metropolitan areas and are stably defined during this period. In many countries/regions and cities, relative volume has increased since January 13th, consistent with normal, seasonal usage of Apple Maps. Day of week effects are important to normalize as you use this data.
Data that is sent from users' devices to the Maps service is associated with random, rotating identifiers so Apple doesn't have a profile of your movements and searches. Apple Maps has no demographic information about Apple users, so it's impossible to make any statements about the representativeness of usage against the overall population.
Update interval: As of April 14, 2022, Apple is no longer providing COVID-19 mobility trends reports.
By downloading or using this data, you agree to Apple terms.
The driven kilometers/miles percent change data being shared comes from the Waze app and is aggregated and anonymized. These insights were generated using differential privacy to protect user privacy. No personally identifiable information, such as an individual’s location, contacts, or movement, is available through this data.
These reports show the increase or decrease in driven kilometers/miles as a percent change compared to a baseline. The changes for each day are compared to a baseline value for that day of the week.
- The baseline is the average value, for the corresponding day of the week, during the 2- week period February 11, 2020 to February 25, 2020.
- The reports show trends over two weeks with the most recent data representing approximately 2-3 days ago.
As with all samples, this may or may not represent the exact behavior of a wider population.
Update interval: Waze dashboard has been retired and will no longer be updated as of July 2022
About TomTom Traffic Index
Covering 416 cities across 57 countries on 6 continents, Traffic Index ranks urban congestion worldwide and provides free access to city-by-city information. Wondering how we determine the rankings, and what exactly the percentages mean?
A 53% congestion level in Bangkok, for example, means that a 30-minute trip will take 53% more time than it would during Bangkok’s baseline uncongested conditions.
You can turn this 53% into travel time through simple calculations. First: 0.53 x 30 mins = 15.9 mins extra average travel time. Second: 30 mins + 15.9 mins = 45.9 mins total average travel time.
We calculate the baseline per city by analyzing free-flow travel times of all vehicles on the entire road network – recorded 24/7, 365 days a year. This information allows us to also calculate, for example, how much extra time a driver will spend in traffic during rush hour in Bangkok.
We perform calculations for all hours of each day, so you can see congestion levels at any time in any city, including morning and evening peak hours.
