FDA Drug Intelligence is an Apify actor for exporting structured openFDA drug records without logins, proxies, or scraping brittle web pages. It queries the public api.fda.gov endpoints and turns recalls, adverse event reports, and Drugs@FDA approval applications into flat dataset rows that are ready for regulatory monitoring, QA triage, competitive intelligence, and spreadsheet workflows.
Drug enforcement and recall intelligence
Use the enforcement dataset to monitor FDA drug recalls and enforcement records by product term, recalling firm, and report date range. Each output row includes recall status, classification, recall number, report date, product description, reason for recall, recalling firm, geography, product quantity, and openFDA brand/generic/manufacturer fields when present. This is useful for QA teams, pharma regulatory operations, supplement sellers, distributors, and ecommerce operators who need to know when a product category or supplier appears in FDA enforcement activity.
Adverse event reports by drug name
Use the adverse_events dataset to export FAERS-style openFDA drug event reports. Search by medicinal product name, optional company term, and receipt date. Rows include safety report ID, seriousness flags, country, patient age/sex fields when provided, primary drug name, active substances, brand/generic/manufacturer names, reaction terms, and drug counts. These reports are public safety reports, not proof of causation; treat them as signals for review rather than medical conclusions.
FDA approval and application records
Use the approvals dataset for Drugs@FDA application records. Search by brand/generic drug name, sponsor name, and submission status date. Rows include application number, sponsor, product brand/generic fields, dosage form, route, marketing status, reference drug/standard indicators, latest submission status, product count, and submission count. This mode helps market researchers and regulatory teams compare sponsors, product forms, and approval history.
What you get
Every run writes clean Apify dataset rows with a consistent dataset, type, recordId, source label, and normalized fields for the selected mode. The actor uses only HTTP public endpoints, adds a descriptive User-Agent for the government API, applies request timeouts, waits politely between paged requests, pushes error rows instead of crashing on one bad record, and enforces maxResults exactly.
How to use
Choose one dataset: enforcement, adverse_events, or approvals. Add a drug name such as aspirin, metformin, ibuprofen, or a brand name like Advil. Optionally add a company or sponsor and a start/end date in YYYY-MM-DD format. The default input is intentionally small and should finish in under five minutes. An openFDA API key is optional and only needed for higher rate limits.
Pricing
This actor is designed for Apify pay-per-event monetization. Configure one paid event named record-scraped at $0.02 per output record. Local or non-PPE runs are capped to protect free usage.
FAQ
Does this process payments or private medical data? No. It only reads public openFDA API records.
Can I search all datasets at once? No. Pick one dataset per run so results have a predictable schema.
Are adverse events medical proof? No. They are public reports and should be reviewed by qualified staff before action.
Why did I get no results? openFDA search terms are literal. Try a broader drug name, remove the company filter, or widen the date range.
