/diseases/{disease_code}/distribution/{country_code}/sections

View as Markdown

Returns the same underlying country narrative as the single-block distribution note, but split into named sections under data, so clients can render tabs or panels without parsing one giant field.

Typical keys (all optional except the core bundle below—presence depends on what exists for that disease and country):

  • background: main narrative HTML with GIDEON inline tags (<gdn-link>, <gdn-pref>, <gdn-charts>, etc.).
  • references: array of resolved reference objects (reference_number, citation, short_citation, href).
  • related_countries: array of { "country_code", "country" } for territories or linked jurisdictions.
  • Topic blocks (strings, often with the same tag vocabulary): transmission, incidence_in_animals, incidence_in_humans, drug_resistance, intros for outbreaks/cross-border/vaccinations, reviews_and_updates, and similar.
  • Embeds (short HTML fragments you expand with other API calls): surveys, outbreaks, crossborder, case_series, sporadic_events, chart placeholders, optional vaccination tables/graphs.
