How can I update my VueJs Data function properties value while fetching data from API using axios? - laravel

Question

I have successfully fetched data from API. The fetched data shows in the alert function. However, the properties in the data function such as - 'Recovered' is not updating. I can show the fetched data using Vanilla JS. But I want to update them automatically and want to show them like this {{Recovered}}.
How can I do it??
<template>
<div class="container">
<h2>Total Recovered: {{Recovered}}</h2>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import axios from 'axios'
export default {
name:'CoronaStatus',
data: function () {
return {
Recovered: '',
TotalConfirmed: '',
TotalDeaths: '',
// test: '30',
// test_2: 'maheeb',
// componentKey: 0,
}
},
mounted(){
this.globalStatus();
},
methods:{
globalStatus: function(){
// const self = this;
// this.componentKey += 1;
axios.get('https://api.covid19api.com/summary')
.then((response) => {
// this.recovered = response.data.Global.NewConfirmed;
this.Recovered= response.data.Global.TotalRecovered;
alert(this.Recovered);
// document.getElementById('test_5').innerHTML = "total: " + this.TotalRecovered;
}).catch(err=> console.log(err));
},
}
}
</script>
<style scoped>
</style>

The easiest solution would be to refetch the information every hour with setInterval.
The best solution would be to use the WebHook provided by covid19api.com.
Vue.config.devtools = false;
Vue.config.productionTip = false;
var app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
Recovered: "Loading ..."
},
mounted() {
setInterval(() => {
this.globalStatus();
}, 3600000); // Call globalStatus every hour
this.globalStatus();
},
methods: {
globalStatus: function() {
axios
.get("https://api.covid19api.com/summary")
.then(response => {
this.Recovered = response.data.Global.TotalRecovered;
})
.catch(err => console.log(err));
}
}
})
