# Licensing for Delphi's COVID-19 Data Streams

9+
When you use data from Delphi's COVIDcast Epidata API, we ask that you attribute
10+
the source and follow the terms of the data's licensing agreement. The API
11+
contains some data streams produced internally by Delphi, which should be
12+
attributed to Delphi, and some republished from other sources, which should be
13+
credited. See below for details.
14+

## Novel Data

These data streams include data produced novelly by Delphi and intentionally and
1218
openly surfaced by Delphi through this API.
