The question is in the title, Otherwise is there any ressource to access the SARS-CoV-2 sequences available in public db in more or less real time?

Thank you for your inputs

sequence

This does not answer the question in a specific fashion and is better suited as a comment. I've moved it to one.

From the GitHub page I got the answer. It is not possible. https://github.com/outbreak-info/outbreak.api/issues/7 That is pity because it would made easy to download the data from GISAID in a clever way

GISAID has currently 700 000 genomes while EBI only 360 000 but raw data ... very few genomes/sequences (only 73,213). NCBI has even less data (60 000 genomes)

SARS-CoV-2 sequences available in public db in more or less real time

I suggest using NCBI datasets daily: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/coronavirus/genomes/ This link is for a web download but you can use datasets on the command line as well.
