Product & Vehicle Recalls API — CPSC, NHTSA, FDA, USDA

Try for free

Every US recall a federal agency publishes, in one schema: consumer products (CPSC), vehicles (NHTSA), drugs, devices and food (FDA), and meat, poultry and egg (USDA FSIS) — plus a VIN decoder that joins each VIN to its model's recalls, complaints and NCAP crash-test ratings. Keyless .gov sources.

Sources

sources

Optional

Which agencies to read. cpsc is consumer products from saferproducts.gov; nhtsa is vehicle recalls, owner complaints and NCAP crash-test ratings; fda is drug, device and food enforcement reports from openFDA; fsis is USDA meat, poultry and egg recalls. All four produce the same columns, so a run over all four is one table. Setting vehicles or vins switches nhtsa on whether or not you list it.

Type:string[]

Default:

[
  "cpsc",
  "nhtsa",
  "fda",
  "fsis"
]

Keywords

keywords

Optional

Only recalls whose title, product name, description, hazard or reason mentions one of these, e.g. ["battery", "lithium"]. Sent to CPSC as one request per keyword per search field, to openFDA as a search= clause and to USDA FSIS as a partial-match text filter, then re-checked on every row before it is written. Rows that came back because you named a vehicle or a VIN are not keyword-filtered — you asked for that car by name.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Vehicles

vehicles

Optional

Vehicles to look up at NHTSA, as "2020 Honda Civic" strings or {"make": "honda", "model": "civic", "year": 2020} objects. A model year is required — NHTSA indexes recalls by year from 1949, and a yearless make and model would be 78 requests. Every entry goes through NHTSA's own make and model lists, so the row carries the agency's spelling; a description matching more than one model returns the candidates free instead of guessing.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Max records per source

maxRecords

Optional

How many recall rows to return from each source. The three FDA enforcement endpoints share one budget rather than getting one each. 0 means every record the filters allow. Owner complaints and VIN rows have their own caps and are not counted here.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:100000

Default:100

Include NCAP crash-test ratings

includeRatings

Optional

Fetch NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program ratings for each vehicle: overall, front, side, pole and rollover stars, plus the crash-test photographs and videos. Two requests per vehicle, one row per body-style variant. Not every vehicle is tested; an untested one gets a free diagnostic row.

Type:boolean

Default:false

VINs

vins

Optional

VINs to decode with NHTSA's free vPIC decoder, in batches of 50. A partial VIN is written with * for the unknown positions. A VIN we cannot decode costs you nothing. Unless decodeOnly is on, each decoded VIN is joined to its model's recalls, complaints and ratings — and fifty VINs of one model cost one set of recall rows, not fifty.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Recall or campaign numbers

recallIds

Optional

Fetch specific records. A CPSC RecallID (e.g. 10967) is looked up at saferproducts.gov; an NHTSA campaign number (e.g. 21V215000) is recognised by its shape and looked up at NHTSA instead.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Manufacturers or recalling firms

manufacturers

Optional

Only recalls whose recalling firm, manufacturer, importer, distributor, retailer or USDA establishment mentions one of these, e.g. ["Peloton"]. CPSC and openFDA are asked server-side; NHTSA and FSIS are filtered here.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Hazard keywords

hazardKeywords

Optional

Only recalls whose hazard, consequence or reason mentions one of these, e.g. ["fire", "laceration"]. CPSC has no hazard-code taxonomy in practice — it returns the hazard as a sentence — so this is a text match on that sentence.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Remedy keywords

remedyKeywords

Optional

Only recalls whose remedy mentions one of these, e.g. ["refund"]. CPSC mixes a clean enum (Refund, Replace, Repair) with whole paragraphs of instructions in the same field, so this is a text match rather than a picker.

Type:array

Default:

[]

States

states

Optional

Two-letter state codes, e.g. ["CA", "TX"]. Matched against the firm's state and against the distribution text, which is where FSIS and CPSC put it. Vehicle recalls are national and are not affected.

Type:array

Default:

[]

Classifications

classifications

Optional

Only recalls in these classes. FDA and USDA classify recalls I (reasonable probability of serious harm) to III (unlikely to cause harm); USDA also issues Public Health Alerts. CPSC and NHTSA do not classify recalls and are not affected.

Type:string[]

Default:

[]

Published on or after

dateFrom

Optional

ISO date, YYYY-MM-DD. Sent server-side to CPSC and openFDA; applied here for NHTSA and USDA FSIS, neither of which offers a recall-date range filter. Leave empty and CPSC defaults to the last 90 days — its API has no paging and no limit, so an unbounded request would download all 11,000 records.

Type:string

Default:

Published on or before

dateTo

Optional

ISO date, YYYY-MM-DD. Leave empty for today.

Type:string

Default:

Include owner complaints

includeComplaints

Optional

Fetch NHTSA owner complaints for each vehicle. Off by default because complaints arrive in bulk and are billed per complaint: one 2021 Tesla Model 3 returns 660 in a single request. maxComplaintsPerVehicle bounds it.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max complaints per vehicle

maxComplaintsPerVehicle

Optional

How many owner complaints to return for one vehicle. NHTSA sends the whole set in one response; this is the cut, and it is what bounds the bill.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:5000

Default:200

Decode VINs only

decodeOnly

Optional

Decode each VIN and stop there — no recalls, complaints or ratings are fetched for the model it decodes to. The cheapest way to use this Actor as a VIN decoder.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Raw openFDA search (advanced)

fdaSearch

Optional

An openFDA search= expression, ANDed with everything else, e.g. initial_firm_notification:"Press Release". For people who know the openFDA query language; everyone else should use the filters above.

Type:string

Default:

Try the USDA FSIS text filters first

fsisServerSideFilter

Optional

USDA publishes its whole recall list — about 13 MB — in one response with no date-range filter. When you set keywords, the run first tries USDA's two documented partial-match text parameters, and falls back to the full list if they return nothing, because an empty answer from that API is also what a parameter it ignores looks like. Turn this off to always fetch the full list.

Type:boolean

Default:true

Include summary rows

includeSummary

Optional

Add free summary rows: one per source, one per vehicle (with the resolved make and model, NHTSA's own recall and complaint totals, and the VIN-range limitation) and one for the run. Never charged.

Type:boolean

Default:true

VIN model year hint

vinModelYear

Optional

A model year to send alongside a partial or short VIN, which is what lets vPIC decode one. Ignored for full 17-character VINs.

Type:string

Default:

Include the raw VIN decode

includeRawVin

Optional

Attach all 154 vPIC fields to each VIN row as vpicRaw. The flattened columns cover the ones people use; this is for the rest.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max rating variants per vehicle

maxRatingVariantsPerVehicle

Optional

NHTSA rates body styles separately — a 2020 Honda Civic has a 2-door and a 4-door rating. This caps how many of them are fetched.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:50

Default:5

Include recall campaign detail

includeCampaignDetail

Optional

Fill potentialUnitsAffected on vehicle recalls. NHTSA publishes that number only on its campaign-number endpoint, so this costs one extra request per distinct campaign.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max campaign lookups

maxCampaignLookups

Optional

Caps the extra requests includeCampaignDetail makes.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:500

Default:25

Crashes only

crashOnly

Optional

Only owner complaints NHTSA records as involving a crash. The flag is on the record itself, not inferred from the text.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Fires only

fireOnly

Optional

Only owner complaints NHTSA records as involving a fire.

Type:boolean

Default:false

When a vehicle matches more than one model

resolveAmbiguous

Optional

"2020 Honda Civ" matches five NHTSA models. By default that is a free diagnostic row listing all five and nothing is fetched or charged. first takes the first candidate; all treats every candidate as its own vehicle, each counting against maxVehicles.

Type:string

Default:diagnostic

Options:

diagnosticfirstall

CPSC search fields

cpscSearchFields

Optional

Which CPSC fields each keyword is searched against. CPSC ANDs everything it is sent, so an OR across fields is one request per field — which is why this is a list and why maxCpscRequests exists. Only CPSC's own documented parameter names are accepted.

Type:string[]

Default:

[
  "RecallTitle",
  "ProductName",
  "RecallDescription"
]

Max CPSC requests

maxCpscRequests

Optional

How many requests one run may make to saferproducts.gov. Keywords times search fields, plus one per manufacturer, hazard, remedy and recall id.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:50

Default:12

openFDA API key (optional)

openFdaApiKey

Optional

Your own free openFDA key. Without one the API allows 100 records per page and 1,000 requests a day per IP; with one it allows 1,000 per page and a far larger daily quota. Everything here works without it.

Type:string

Max vehicles

maxVehicles

Optional

How many vehicles to resolve and fetch for.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:500

Default:25

Max VINs

maxVins

Optional

How many VINs to decode. They go out in batches of 50, which is vPIC's documented ceiling.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:5000

Default:500

Incremental mode

incremental

Optional

Return only records you have not been given before. The run keeps each record's id and its revision marker — CPSC's publish date, FDA's status, USDA's last-modified date, NHTSA's report date and star rating — so a recall the agency re-publishes comes back and an unchanged one does not. VIN rows are never suppressed: you asked for that VIN by name.

Type:boolean

Default:false

State store name

stateStoreName

Optional

The named key-value store the incremental cursor lives in. Give two scheduled jobs different names and they will not tread on each other.

Type:string

Default:product-recalls-api-state

Max concurrency

maxConcurrency

Optional

How many sources, and how many vehicles within NHTSA, to read at once. Each parallel worker keeps its own proxy session.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:10

Default:4

Max run seconds

maxRunSecs

Optional

Wall-clock budget for the whole run. When it runs out, the rows already written are kept and a free diagnostic row says where the walk stopped.

Type:integer

Minimum:30

Maximum:3600

Default:240

Proxy configuration

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Apify's datacenter proxy is enough for NHTSA, vPIC, openFDA and USDA FSIS — and USDA's firewall actually prefers it. CPSC is the exception: saferproducts.gov answered every datacenter request with a placeholder record in our measurements, so CPSC requests go out on the run's own address first and fall back to this proxy only if that fails.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true
}
