FDA

Access drug and device data via the openFDA API.

Overview

openFDA provides access to:

  • Drug Events - Adverse event reports
  • Drug Labels - Drug labeling information
  • Drug Enforcement - Recalls and enforcement actions
  • Device Data - Medical device reports

Quick Start

from biodbs.fetch import fda_drug_events, fda_drug_labels

# Search drug adverse events
events = fda_drug_events(search="aspirin", limit=10)

Drug Data

Adverse Events

from biodbs.fetch import fda_drug_events

events = fda_drug_events(
    search="aspirin",
    limit=100
)

Drug Labels

from biodbs.fetch import fda_drug_labels

labels = fda_drug_labels(search="aspirin")

Drug Enforcement

from biodbs.fetch import fda_drug_enforcement

recalls = fda_drug_enforcement(search="aspirin")

NDC Directory

from biodbs.fetch import fda_drug_ndc

ndc = fda_drug_ndc(search="aspirin")

Drugs@FDA

from biodbs.fetch import fda_drug_drugsfda

drugs = fda_drug_drugsfda(search="aspirin")

Device Data

Device Events

from biodbs.fetch import fda_device_events

events = fda_device_events(search="pacemaker", limit=10)

Device Classification

from biodbs.fetch import fda_device_classification

classification = fda_device_classification(search="pacemaker")

510(k) Clearances

from biodbs.fetch import fda_device_510k

clearances = fda_device_510k(search="pacemaker")

Food Data

Food Events

from biodbs.fetch import fda_food_events

events = fda_food_events(search="salmonella", limit=10)

Food Enforcement

from biodbs.fetch import fda_food_enforcement

recalls = fda_food_enforcement(search="salmonella")

from biodbs.fetch import fda_search, fda_search_all

# Single page
results = fda_search(
    endpoint="drug/event",
    search="aspirin",
    limit=100
)

# All pages
all_results = fda_search_all(
    endpoint="drug/event",
    search="aspirin",
    max_results=1000
)

Using the Fetcher Class

from biodbs.fetch.FDA import FDA_Fetcher

fetcher = FDA_Fetcher()
events = fetcher.drug_events(search="aspirin")
  • ChEMBL - Bioactivity data, mechanisms of action, and drug target information.
  • PubChem - Chemical properties, safety data, and pharmacology information.
