Seed Data — No Live API Available

ILI surveillance data is sourced from NYC DOHMH EpiQuery — no public REST endpoint is available for syndromic surveillance. This is a civic data gap. Charts show manually seeded Wk42 2025 – Wk3 2026 figures. NYC DOHMH updates EpiQuery weekly; data here is refreshed each flu season.
