Filter by product, animal species (dog, cat, horse, cattle, pig), reaction term, or report date. Pull drug names, manufacturers, reactions, outcomes, animal details, and full case metadata. - **URL**: https://apify.com/parseforge/openfda-animal-veterinary-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [ParseForge](https://apify.com/parseforge) (community) - **Categories:** Business, Other, Education - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $11.00 / 1,000 result items This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![ParseForge Banner](https://github.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/blob/ad35ccc13ddd068b9d6cba33f323962e39aed5b2/banner.jpg?raw=true) ## ๐Ÿพ openFDA Animal & Veterinary Adverse Event Scraper > ๐Ÿš€ **Export the U.S. veterinary pharmacovigilance dataset in seconds.** Pull **1.3M+ adverse event reports** filed with the FDA for animal drugs, with species, breed, age, weight, active ingredients, reactions, and outcomes. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling. > ๐Ÿ•’ **Last updated:** 2026-05-22 ยท **๐Ÿ“Š 27 fields** per record ยท **๐Ÿถ 1.3M+ reports** ยท **๐Ÿพ 6 species filters** ยท **๐Ÿ’Š Brand + ingredient search** The **openFDA Animal & Veterinary Adverse Event Scraper** exports the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine pharmacovigilance file and returns **27 structured fields per record**, covering the animal, the product, the reaction, the outcome, and the original report metadata. The underlying corpus is the official U.S. registry of suspected adverse drug events in companion and food animals, sourced from veterinarians, drug sponsors, and pet owners. The catalog covers **dogs, cats, horses, cattle, pigs, and other species**, every veterinary drug class on the U.S. market, and every reported reaction term from the international VeDDRA dictionary. This Actor makes that data downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes. All filters run server-side, so you skip the parser engineering entirely. | ๐ŸŽฏ Target Audience | ๐Ÿ’ก Primary Use Cases | |---|---| | Veterinary pharma, pet insurance underwriters, clinical research teams, regulatory affairs analysts, vet schools, animal-health journalists | Pharmacovigilance signal detection, product safety dashboards, claims-risk modeling, label-change research, breed-specific reaction studies | --- ### ๐Ÿ“‹ What the openFDA Animal & Veterinary Scraper does Five filtering workflows in a single run: - ๐Ÿ’Š **Product / drug filter.** Brand name or active ingredient (e.g. `meloxicam`, `fipronil`, `spinosad`). - ๐Ÿพ **Species filter.** Dog, cat, horse, cattle, pig, or other. - ๐Ÿฉบ **Reaction term filter.** Free-text VeDDRA term (e.g. `vomiting`, `lethargy`, `pruritus`). - ๐Ÿ“… **Date range filter.** Earliest and latest report receive dates. - ๐ŸŒ **Full corpus export.** Leave filters empty to stream the global event file. Each record includes the unique adverse event report ID, animal demographics, primary product details, every drug administered, every reaction reported, outcomes, the reporter type, the receiving organization, and the full raw record for downstream re-parsing. > ๐Ÿ’ก **Why it matters:** veterinary adverse event signals are scattered across PDF labels, third-party reviews, and clinician anecdote. The FDA pool is the only structured registry. Building your own pipeline means handling pagination, search-syntax escaping, and quarterly schema drift. This Actor skips all of that. --- ### ๐ŸŽฌ Full Demo _๐Ÿšง Coming soon: a 3-minute walkthrough showing how to go from sign-up to a downloaded dataset._ --- ### โš™๏ธ Input

Set your product, species, reaction, or date filters in the input form, click Start, and the Actor pulls reports from the openFDA Animal & Veterinary pharmacovigilance file. No browser automation, no captchas, no setup. #### ๐Ÿ“ How complete is the dataset? The corpus holds over 1.3 million reports going back to the late 1980s. Modern coverage (2010 onward) is the most complete, since electronic reporting was standardized then. #### ๐Ÿ” How often is the dataset refreshed? The FDA publishes new reports on a quarterly cadence. Every run of this Actor fetches the latest published quarter at request time. #### ๐ŸŽ Does it cover horses and food animals? Yes. Set `animalSpecies` to `horse`, `cattle`, or `pig`, or pick `other` for exotics, poultry, and small ruminants. #### โฐ Can I schedule regular runs? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run this Actor on any cron interval and keep a downstream safety-signal database in sync. #### โš–๏ธ Is this data legal to use? The underlying reports are released by the FDA as public-domain U.S. government data. Review your own downstream use for HIPAA-equivalent veterinary privacy concerns where applicable. #### ๐Ÿ’ผ Can I use this data commercially? Yes. Public U.S. government data may be redistributed and used commercially. You remain responsible for downstream regulatory compliance. #### ๐Ÿ’ณ Do I need a paid Apify plan? No. The free plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and unlocks scheduling, higher concurrency, and larger datasets. #### ๐Ÿ” What happens if a run fails? Apify retries transient errors automatically. You can inspect the log in the Runs tab, adjust the input, and re-run. Partial datasets are preserved. #### ๐Ÿ“š Why are some brand-name searches empty? Reporters often record the active ingredient instead of the brand name. If a brand search comes back empty, retry with the ingredient (e.g. `spinosad` instead of `Comfortis`). #### ๐Ÿ†˜ What if I need help? Our support team is here to help.
