/diseases/{disease_code}/distribution/{country_code}/sections
/diseases/{disease_code}/distribution/{country_code}/sections
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.
#### **Path parameters**
| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `disease_code` | GIDEON disease id. |
| `country_code` | GIDEON country code (same as on other distribution routes). |
#### **Query parameters**
None.
#### **Success response**
`{ "data": { … }, "timestamp": … }` — **`timestamp`** is a Unix epoch (seconds) taken from the note’s last-update stamp when available.
#### **Errors**
| HTTP status | When |
| --- | --- |
| **400** | Missing or invalid pairing — `{ "message": "Invalid disease or country id." }` (plain message object, not the `{ "error": … }` envelope used elsewhere). |
