Extract FDA-approved drug labels from the National Library of Medicine's DailyMed Structured Product Label (SPL) API. DailyMed is the official archive of every drug label currently in distribution in the US — prescription, OTC, generic, and biologic.

For each SPL this Actor returns the set ID, label title (including dosage form and labeler), published date, SPL version number, plus deep links to the canonical lookup page, raw XML, and full JSON document — so you can chain to label-specific extraction pipelines.

Why this Actor

Pharma competitive intelligence, drug-pricing analytics, and clinical-decision tools all need a complete + current map of FDA SPLs. The DailyMed v2 API is free and authoritative, but raw — this Actor wraps it for bulk pulls, filtering by drug name, NDC, manufacturer (labeler), or publish date.

Features

  • Official NLM DailyMed v2 API.
  • Filter by drug name, NDC, manufacturer name (substring on title), or publish date.
  • Returns canonical setid + version + URLs to label page / XML / JSON.
  • Paginates automatically up to maxResults.
  • No API key required.
