Frequently Asked Questions
What datasets does this scraper cover?
It covers three openFDA device datasets for the United States: MAUDE adverse events (malfunction, injury and death reports), the device recall database, and the 510(k) premarket clearance database. Choose one with the Dataset input.
How many records can I pull in one run?
openFDA paginates with a skip offset up to 25000 records per query. For larger pulls, narrow the search keyword or the date range so each run stays under that ceiling.
How does the search work?
A simple keyword is matched to the device brand name for events, the product description for recalls, or the device name for 510(k). You can also paste a raw openFDA expression with a field, such as manufacturer_name:Medtronic or event_type:Death.
Can I filter by date?
Yes. Date From and Date To accept YYYY-MM-DD. For events this filters the FDA date received, for recalls the date initiated, and for 510(k) the decision date.
What happens to missing fields?
MAUDE reports vary in completeness, so fields openFDA does not provide for a record are returned as null. The scraper never invents values.
