## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability bnm-data-shop-fda-pcac-503a-briefing-memos-6cdae56f
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee 503A briefing memos — I need the list of substances being reviewed, their meeting dates, and links to the FDA documents.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need machine-readable, structured access to FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee 503A briefing memos without scraping the FDA website yourself. It is ideal for compliance monitoring, pharmaceutical research pipelines, or regulatory intelligence agents that need substance names, meeting dates, and document URLs in a consistent JSON format. Prefer this over manual FDA website scraping when you need reliable, pay-per-call access with no subscription required.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 Payment Required if the x402 micropayment header is missing or invalid
- Empty records array if no PCAC memos have been published yet for the current cycle
- Stale fetchedAt timestamp if FDA source data has not been refreshed recently
- Network timeout if FDA upstream is slow to respond
- Malformed JSON if upstream FDA page structure changes unexpectedly

## How this service works

Official public data as JSON. Unpaid paid routes return HTTP 402.

## Output

A JSON object containing: an 'ok' status flag, an 'asOf' date, a 'cards' array with structured briefing card objects (id, body text excerpt, date, mediaId, meeting date string, FDA source URL, substance name), a 'records' array with condensed record entries (id, url, date, firm/substance name, type), a source URL pointing to the FDA advisory committee calendar page, the product identifier 'fda-pcac-503a-memos', a fetchedAt timestamp, and a recordCount integer.
