description: 'The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the United States'' national public health agency, part
  of the Department of Health and Human Services. CDC operates a broad portfolio of free, anonymously callable public APIs
  and open data services: the Socrata-powered data.cdc.gov and chronicdata.cdc.gov Open Data APIs, whose DCAT-US 1.1 catalog
  lists 1,385 datasets covering COVID-19, chronic disease, environmental health, immunization, injury and mortality; the WONDER
  online query databases for mortality, natality and cancer statistics; the PLACES / BRFSS small-area estimates; the Environmental
  Public Health Tracking Network REST API; and the Content Syndication API at tools.cdc.gov. Alongside these, CDC ships open-source
  public health products with their own OpenAPI contracts under the CDCgov GitHub organization, notably the DIBBs eCR Refiner
  and the DIBBs Query Connector, a FHIR R4 / TEFCA query client. CDC''s former developer portal open.cdc.gov has been decommissioned
  and no longer resolves, so the agency currently publishes no central API directory of its own.'

    down to the data a given reportable condition actually needs, easing storage and performance pressure on eCR pipelines
    and disease surveillance systems. CDC publishes a 44-operation OpenAPI 3.1.0 contract covering conditions, configurations,
    custom code sets, section processing, an audit event log and an eCR simulator. The product is self-hosted: public health
    jurisdictions run the Apache-2.0 container from ghcr.io/cdcgov/dibbs-ecr-refiner, so the spec declares no servers[] block
    and the base URL is whatever the jurisdiction deploys.'

    directly or through a TEFCA QHIN. Its published OpenAPI 3.0.3 contract exposes a health check and a query endpoint that
    accepts either a FHIR R4 patient resource or an HL7 v2 message, with US Core race and ethnicity search parameters drawn
    from the CDC Race and Ethnicity code system. CDC runs a demo instance tracking the latest release and a dev instance tracking
    main; the product itself is self-hosted and CC0.
