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ท๏ธ openFDA Drug NDC Directory Scraper > ๐Ÿš€ **Export the official FDA National Drug Code directory in seconds.** Pull **140,000+ marketed drug products** filtered by NDC, brand, generic name, manufacturer, or product type. No login, no daily quota juggling, no schema guesswork. > ๐Ÿ•’ **Last updated:** 2026-05-22 ยท **๐Ÿ“Š 28 fields** per record ยท **๐Ÿ’Š 140,000+ products** ยท **๐Ÿท๏ธ NDC, RxCUI, UNII** ยท **๐Ÿญ thousands of labelers** The **openFDA Drug NDC Directory Scraper** exports the National Drug Code (NDC) Directory and returns **28 fields per record**, including product NDC, brand and generic names, labeler, dosage form, route, active ingredients with strength, packaging, pharmacologic class, and cross-reference identifiers such as RxCUI, UNII, and SPL. The NDC directory is the canonical reference for every drug marketed in the United States. The catalog covers **prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, vaccines, bulk ingredients, plasma derivatives, and allergenics**. This Actor turns the live directory into a downloadable dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes. Filtering happens at source, so you skip the paging and field-name spelunking entirely. | ๐ŸŽฏ Target Audience | ๐Ÿ’ก Primary Use Cases | |---|---| | Pharmacy IT, healthcare apps, EHR vendors, formulary teams, drug-data engineers, claims-processing teams, telehealth platforms | Drug autocomplete, NDC-to-RxCUI mappings, label lookups, formulary builds, OTC vs Rx classification, dosage and route reference data, claims edits | --- ### ๐Ÿ“‹ What the openFDA Drug NDC Directory Scraper does Five filtering workflows in a single run: - ๐Ÿท๏ธ **NDC filter.** Pull one product by exact NDC code, e.g. `80489-001`. - ๐Ÿท๏ธ **Brand filter.** Restrict to a brand (proprietary) name, e.g. Tylenol, Lipitor. - ๐Ÿ’Š **Generic filter.** Restrict to a generic (non-proprietary) name, e.g. acetaminophen, atorvastatin. - ๐Ÿญ **Manufacturer filter.** Substring match on the labeler or manufacturer company name. - ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ **Product-type filter.** Prescription drug, OTC drug, vaccine, bulk ingredient, plasma derivative, cellular therapy, or allergenic. Each record includes the product NDC and ID, brand name (and brand-name base), generic name, labeler and manufacturer, dosage form, route, marketing category, application number, active ingredients with strength, packaging breakdown, pharmacologic class (broad + EPC + PE), and RxCUI / UNII / NUI cross-reference codes. > ๐Ÿ’ก **Why it matters:** clean NDC reference data is the foundation of every safe prescribing workflow. Building your own parser means handling the directory format, ingredient strength parsing, and packaging hierarchies. This Actor skips that work and keeps the dataset fresh on every run. --- ### ๐ŸŽฌ Full Demo _๐Ÿšง Coming soon: a 3-minute walkthrough showing how to go from sign-up to a downloaded NDC directory feed._ --- ### โš™๏ธ Input

Set an NDC, brand, generic, manufacturer, or product type in the input form, click Start, and the Actor queries the official FDA drug catalog and emits a clean structured record per product. No browser automation, no captchas, no setup. #### ๐Ÿ“ How accurate is the data? The dataset is sourced directly from the FDA NDC Directory and reflects what labelers have submitted. Listings can drift if a product is discontinued without an immediate update, so use the `listingExpirationDate` field as a freshness check. #### ๐Ÿ” How often is the dataset refreshed? The FDA refreshes the directory on an ongoing basis. Every run of this Actor fetches the latest data, so your output reflects current records as of run time. #### ๐Ÿ”— What cross-reference identifiers are included? RxCUI (RxNorm), UNII (substance), NUI (NDF-RT pharmacologic class), SPL set ID, and the FDA application number when available. #### ๐Ÿ’‰ Are vaccines and biologics included? Yes. Set `productType` to `VACCINE`, `PLASMA DERIVATIVE`, or `CELLULAR THERAPY` to scope the result set. #### โฐ Can I schedule regular runs? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run this Actor on any cron interval (weekly, monthly) and keep a downstream formulary in sync. #### โš–๏ธ Is this data legal to use? Yes. The NDC Directory is published by the U.S. FDA under a permissive open-data policy. Review downstream regulatory requirements for your specific use case. #### ๐Ÿ’ผ Can I use this data commercially? Yes. Open FDA records are publicly available for commercial reuse. You are responsible for any downstream regulatory or labeling obligations. #### ๐Ÿ’ณ Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor? No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and gives you access to scheduling, higher concurrency, and larger datasets. #### ๐Ÿ” What happens if a run fails or gets interrupted? Apify automatically retries transient errors. If a run still fails, you can inspect the log in the Runs tab, fix the input, and re-run. Partial datasets from failed runs are preserved so you never lose progress. #### ๐Ÿ†˜ What if I need help? Our support team is here to help.
