📋 What the Swiss BAG Infectious Diseases Scraper does

- Normalises field names across the API's German, French, Italian, and English variants.
- Returns one row per disease, week, year, canton, age group, sex stratum.
💡 Why it matters Notifiable disease data is fragmented across PDF reports and a JS dashboard. The API exists but is undocumented. This actor wraps it.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: dataComplete, disease, incidencePer100k, keyFigure, pctChange, scrapedAt, source, sourceDate, topic, trend, value, year. All 12 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
⚠️ Good to Know The BAG API is public and free. No registration required.
