Returns a list of disease outbreaks that were active during the specified year. An outbreak is considered active if either its first reported year or last reported year falls within the provided year.

outbreak_start (deprecated) – Replaced by outbreak_first_reported. Do not use.
outbreak_end (deprecated) – Replaced by outbreak_last_reported. Do not use.

The type field in the outbreak response indicates the nature of the reported disease occurrence. It can have one or two comma-separated values:

Value	Description
`outbreak`	A confirmed outbreak involving multiple cases linked by time and location.
`sporadic`	A single or isolated case not linked to other known cases.
`travelcase`	The case was imported from another country or region, typically through travel.
`outbreak,travelcases`	A cluster of travel-related cases that are considered part of an outbreak.
`sporadic,travelcase`	A single travel-related case that is not part of a known outbreak.

Note: Values may appear in combination (e.g., outbreak,travelcases) to indicate both the type of event and whether the case(s) were travel-related.
