/diseases/{disease_code}/ongoing-outbreaks

Returns a **merged, recent “ongoing” view** of outbreak-related activity for **one disease**: catalog outbreak/sporadic rows plus eligible curated news rows, **deduplicated** when they describe the same disease, country, and place id. #### **Scope (how rows are chosen)** - **Rolling recency window:** each row’s activity timestamp (**`update_date`** on the response) must fall within roughly the **last two months** (from the API server’s current date/time). - **Catalog rows (`source` = `OUTBREAKS`):** `type` includes **outbreak** or **sporadic**; reporting country is not the synthetic worldwide or simulator codes; and the reporting span touches the **current calendar year** (via the start/end year fields exposed as **`outbreak_first_reported`** / **`outbreak_last_reported`** alongside legacy **`outbreak_start`** / **`outbreak_end`**). - **News rows (`source` = `gdn_outbreak_news`):** approved outbreak-news items created inside the same rolling window, with `type` on the row set to **outbreak**; duplicates that match an already-returned catalog row (same disease, country, and place identifier) are **omitted**. #### **Path parameters** | Name | Description | | --- | --- | | `disease_code` | GIDEON disease id (numeric string in the path). | #### **Query parameters** None affect filtering or payload shape for this path. #### **Success response** `{ "data": [ … ], "timestamp": … }` - **`data`:** each object includes identifiers (**`id`**, **`hash_id`**), **`type`**, timestamps (**`update_date`**, **`update_date_epoch`**), year fields (**`outbreak_first_reported`** / **`outbreak_last_reported`** and legacy **`outbreak_start`** / **`outbreak_end`**), **`publication_year`**, counts (**`cases`**, **`deaths`**), geography (**`region`**, **`city`**, **`state`**, **`latitude`**, **`longitude`**, **`country_code`**, resolved **`country_name`**), **`is_animal`** / **`is_human`** (booleans or null), admin labels (**`admin_1_name`**, **`admin_2_name`**, **`admin_3_name`**), **`source`** (`OUTBREAKS` vs `gdn_outbreak_news`), and **`href`** (relative—either an explore path for catalog rows or **`/events/{hash_id}`** for news rows). News-only rows may also include **`outbreak_date`** (ISO date) when present. - **`timestamp`:** Unix epoch (seconds) of the latest catalog update stamp used for this disease’s outbreak feed, or **`null`** when none is available. Unknown disease ids still return **200** with an empty **`data`** array when nothing matches.
