Scrape public RxList drug monographs for research, medical-content indexing, medication reference datasets, and agent workflows. The Actor returns one structured record per validated monograph.
What it extracts
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
drugName, genericName | Brand/page name and related generic name when RxList exposes it |
drugClass | Drug classification from page metadata when available |
lastReviewed, reviewedBy | Review metadata from the page's structured data |
sections | Available text for description, uses, dosage, side effects, interactions, warnings, precautions, overdose, contraindications, clinical pharmacology, and patient information |
sourceUrl, canonicalUrl | Public source and canonical page URLs |
Input
Use drugNames for names such as Ativan, Eliquis, or Prozac. Use startUrls for exact public pages such as https://www.rxlist.com/ativan-drug.htm; exact URLs replace names. maxResults caps output records and result events.
Example:
{"drugNames": ["Ativan", "Eliquis"],"maxResults": 2}
Output
Each dataset item has a stable recordId, page metadata, and a sections object. Run diagnostics are stored in the SUMMARY and OUTPUT key-value records.
{"drugName": "Ativan","genericName": "Lorazepam","drugClass": "Anxiolytics, Benzodiazepines","sectionNames": ["description", "uses", "dosage", "warnings"],"sourceUrl": "https://www.rxlist.com/ativan-drug.htm"}
Pricing
| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Run start | $0.01 |
| Validated monograph | $0.01 |
The default input requests up to 10 monographs, so the maximum event charge is $0.11 including the start event. A one-result run is $0.02 including the start event. Platform compute charges, if applicable, are separate according to Apify's current pricing rules.
Reliability and limits
The Actor uses direct static HTML requests with bounded concurrency and retries. It reports empty, blocked, rejected, partial, and failed outcomes in SUMMARY instead of fabricating medication records. It accepts up to 20 names or exact URLs and does not use login sessions, submit forms, bypass challenges, or provide medical advice.
RxList content must be independently reviewed by a qualified healthcare professional before clinical use. This Actor is for public-information extraction, not diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, or emergency guidance.
