πŸ’Š FDA Drug Approvals Scraper

πŸš€ Export FDA drug applications and supplements in seconds. Sponsors, brand names, dosage forms, submission types, and statuses, straight to CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

The openFDA Drugs@FDA endpoint exposes every drug application processed by the FDA, including originals (NDA, ANDA, BLA) and supplements. This actor flattens those records into one row per application with the most useful submission and product metadata.

Coverage spans the entire historical Drugs@FDA dataset, with full openFDA enrichment (brand name, generic name, substance, route, manufacturer).

πŸ“‹ What the FDA Drug Approvals Scraper does

  • Calls openFDA drug/drugsfda for any search query
  • Returns one row per application with first submission + first product
  • Surfaces openFDA enriched fields (brand, generic, manufacturer)

πŸ’‘ Why it matters: FDA drug status, ready for analysis without flipping through Drugs@FDA.

πŸ“Š Data fields
