## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## FDA Drug & Pharma Manufacturer B2B Lead Scraper (NDA / ANDA / BLA / OTC)

Extract verified **US & Global Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, Biotech Drug Sponsors, and OTC Labelers** directly from the official **US FDA National Drug Code (NDC)** registry in seconds over lightweight HTTP (`256 MB` RAM, zero proxies required).

### Why Life-Sciences, CDMO & Packaging Teams Use This Actor

1. **Regulatory Pathway Segmentation (`NDA`, `ANDA`, `BLA`, `OTC`):**
   - **NDA & BLA Sponsors:** Target branded pharmaceutical and biologics innovators investing in medical affairs, specialty distribution, and clinical commercialization.
   - **ANDA Labelers:** Target high-volume generic drug manufacturers purchasing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, and blister/bottle packaging.
   - **OTC Monograph Brands:** Target consumer healthcare brands expanding retail distribution and contract manufacturing.
2. **Dosage-Form Supply Chain Signals (`cdmoOpportunitySignal`):**
   - Automatically tags **Sterile Fill-Finish / Cold-Chain** (`INJECTION`, `LYOPHILIZED`), **Oral Solid Dose / OSD** (`TABLET`, `CAPSULE`), and **Topical / Semi-Solid** (`CREAM`, `OINTMENT`, `GEL`) prospects.
3. **One-Lead-Per-Company Deduplication:**
   - Enable `deduplicateByLabeler: true` (default) to receive one clean record per unique pharmaceutical company rather than hundreds of duplicate NDC package variations.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchKeyword` (type: `string`):

Optional keyword to filter drug products by brand name, generic name, or pharmacological class (e.g., 'oncology', 'insulin', 'amoxicillin', 'hydrochloride'). Leave empty to search across all active products.

## `marketingCategory` (type: `string`):

Filter by FDA regulatory pathway: NDA (New Drug Application), ANDA (Generic), BLA (Biologics License Application), or OTC Monograph.

## `dosageForm` (type: `string`):

Filter by manufacturing form (e.g., 'TABLET', 'CAPSULE', 'INJECTION', 'CREAM', 'SOLUTION'). Good for targeting contract manufacturing (CDMO) leads.

## `labelerName` (type: `string`):

Search for a specific pharmaceutical company or labeler (e.g., 'Pfizer', 'Novartis', 'Teva').

## `deduplicateByLabeler` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, returns one enriched summary record per unique pharmaceutical manufacturer/labeler rather than multiple products from the same company.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of pharmaceutical manufacturer/product records to return (Free users preview up to 25 leads; paying users unlock up to 10,000 leads per run).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchKeyword": "",
  "marketingCategory": "NDA",
  "dosageForm": "",
  "labelerName": "",
  "deduplicateByLabeler": true,
  "maxItems": 25
}

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchKeyword": "",
    "dosageForm": "",
    "labelerName": ""
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("zinjaink/fda-drug-and-pharma-manufacturer-leads").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## MCP server setup

```json
{

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,zinjaink/fda-drug-and-pharma-manufacturer-leads"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
