For search
queries (such as: https://api.fda.gov/drug/enforcement.json?limit=1), the results
section includes matching enforcement reports returned by the API.
Each enforcement report consists of two major sections:
The data format of RES enforcement reports changed in June 2012. In openFDA API results, reports from before that time do not contain the following fields:
event_id
status
city
state
country
voluntary_mandated
initial_firm_notification
recall_initiation_date
For count
queries (such as: https://api.fda.gov/drug/enforcement.json?count=voluntary_mandated.exact), the results section will look something like the following:
{
"meta": {
"disclaimer": "Do not rely on openFDA to make decisions regarding medical care. While we make every effort to ensure that data is accurate, you should assume all results are unvalidated. We may limit or otherwise restrict your access to the API in line with our Terms of Service.",
"terms": "https://open.fda.gov/terms/",
"license": "https://open.fda.gov/license/",
"last_updated": "2017-12-02"
},
"results": [
{
"term": "Voluntary: Firm Initiated",
"count": 7623
},
{
"term": "Voluntary: FDA Requested",
"count": 13
}
]
}
