# Find Spanish authorised medicines by name or ingredient

**Use case:** 

Immediate filtered snapshot of the AEMPS medicines register: keeps only rows where any field contains your term (name, active ingredient, holder), case-insensitive, applied before the cap and before billing — only matches are delivered and charged. Zero rows means no authorised medicine matches. Edit the term to your product or ingredient.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Spain AEMPS Medicines Registry (CIMA)](https://apify.com/nexgenwatch/spain-aemps-medicines-registry.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/nexgenwatch/spain-aemps-medicines-registry.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
