📋 Drugs@FDA Approvals Scraper

🚀 Export the official FDA drug-approval catalog in seconds. Pull 24,000+ NDA, ANDA, and BLA applications filtered by application number, sponsor, product, type, or marketing status. No login, no daily quota juggling, no schema guesswork.

The Drugs@FDA Approvals Scraper exports the Drugs@FDA approval catalog and returns 20 fields per record, including application number, sponsor, application type, product list, dosage forms, routes, marketing statuses, full submission history, and the original approval date. Drugs@FDA is the official record of every drug that has been submitted to the FDA for marketing approval.

The catalog covers every NDA (New Drug Application), ANDA (Abbreviated NDA / generic), and BLA (Biologics License Application) published by the FDA. This Actor turns the live catalog 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.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Pharma competitive-intelligence teams, generics-tracking analysts, regulatory affairs, market access, life-sciences investors, biotech business development, health policy researchers	Approval-history dashboards, sponsor portfolios, generic-launch trackers, therapeutic-area pipelines, regulatory submission histories, market-status monitoring

📋 What the Drugs@FDA Approvals Scraper does

Five filtering workflows in a single run:

🆔 Application filter. Pull one application by exact number, e.g. NDA022345, ANDA076439, BLA125514.
🏢 Sponsor filter. Substring match on sponsor company name, e.g. Pfizer, Merck, Genentech.
🏷️ Product filter. Filter by brand name, e.g. Lipitor, Humira, Keytruda.
🗂️ Application-type filter. NDA, ANDA, or BLA only.
🟢 Marketing-status filter. Prescription, OTC, Discontinued, Tentative Approval, or For Further Manufacturing Use.

Each record includes the application number, sponsor name, application type, list of brand names, list of active ingredients, dosage forms, routes, marketing statuses, therapeutic equivalence codes, full product array, full submission history with dates and statuses, plus the original approval date.

💡 Why it matters: the approval catalog is the canonical timeline of every marketed drug in the U.S. Building your own parser means handling decades of submission format drift and stitching products to applications. This Actor skips that work and keeps the dataset fresh on every run.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: activeIngredients, applicationNumber, applicationType, brandNames, dosageForms, latestSubmissionDate, latestSubmissionStatus, latestSubmissionType, marketingStatuses, openfda, originalApprovalDate, productCount, products, routes, scrapedAt, sponsorName, submissionCount, submissions, teCodes. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
