💊 RxNorm Drug Concepts Scraper (NLM)
🚀 Export standardized US drug concepts in seconds. Search the NIH/NLM RxNorm API by drug name, fetch every related concept for a given RxCUI, or browse every concept of a term type (SBD, SCD, IN, BN, and more). No API key, no normalization headaches, no manual JSON parsing.
The RxNorm Drug Concepts Scraper queries the official rxnav.nlm.nih.gov RxNorm API and returns standardized US drug concepts from the National Library of Medicine. Three lookup modes cover the common workflows: search by ingredient or brand name, pull every related concept for a known RxCUI, or browse every concept of a chosen term type (TTY). Each record carries the RxCUI, full RxNorm name, term type, synonym, language, suppression flag, the canonical RxNav URL, and the parsed base ingredient list.
RxNorm is the NIH-maintained standardized nomenclature for prescription and over-the-counter US drugs and is the lingua franca for clinical decision support, e-prescribing, and pharmacy claims. Coverage spans every TTY in the RxNorm release: IN (ingredient), PIN, MIN, BN (brand name), SCD/SBD (semantic clinical/branded drug), SCDF/SBDF, SCDC/SBDC, DF, DFG, GPCK/BPCK, SY, and TMSY.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Health-tech teams, pharmacy systems, clinical decision support vendors, EHR integrators, public-health researchers, formulary managers | Drug autocomplete, RxCUI mapping, brand-to-generic crosswalks, prescription normalization, formulary builds, clinical-trial dataset prep |
📋 What the RxNorm Scraper does
Three lookup modes in one Actor:
- 🔍 Search mode. Find every RxNorm concept that shares an ingredient or brand name (e.g.
aspirin,metformin,Lipitor). - 🆔 byRxcui mode. Pull every related concept (brand, generic, dose forms, components) for a given RxCUI.
- 📚 allByType mode. Browse the full catalog of a single term type, like every Semantic Branded Drug (
SBD) or every Ingredient (IN).
Each record carries the RxCUI, full RxNorm name, term type, synonym, language, suppression flag, the canonical RxNav page URL, the run timestamp, and a parsed baseNames array that extracts the underlying ingredients embedded in compound concept names.
💡 Why it matters: drug data lives in fragmented forms across labels, NDC codes, and EHR vocabularies. RxNorm is the bridge. This Actor lets product, pharmacy, and research teams pull RxNorm into a spreadsheet without writing an API client.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: baseNames, language, name, rxcui, scrapedAt, suppress, synonym, tty, url. All 9 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
