## 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 fda-drug-approval-search-govparse-io-520ccb78
```

Example prompt: Show me all NDA and BLA drug approvals since 2025-01-01 for any Sandoz products, sorted by most recent approval date — I want to build a day-one outreach list for our CRO sales team.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable FDA drug approval data linked to applicant companies — especially for commercial intelligence, CRO sales prospecting, partnership targeting, or market entry monitoring. Prefer this over raw openFDA queries when you need entity-resolved company names, pre-filtered by application type or date, without building your own openFDA query logic. Choose sibling endpoints on govparse.io for medical device approvals (510k), drug/device recalls, or patent searches.

## Known failure modes

- Company name not found or misspelled — returns empty result set
- Invalid application_type value returns validation error
- Date format not YYYY-MM-DD causes parse error
- Limit exceeding 100 returns error or is capped
- No results when date range is too narrow or combination of filters is too restrictive
- Entity UUID not found in resolved employer database returns empty match

## How this service works

Which companies just won an FDA drug approval or supplement? Search openFDA drug/drugsfda applications by sponsor company, application type (NDA/ANDA/BLA), route, marketing status, most-recent approval date (since), or original market-entry date (first_approval_after). Returns the applicant company (entity-resolved where possible), brand/ingredient/dosage, and approval dates — a day-one commercial/partnership target list for pharma sellers and CROs. openFDA public-domain records.

## Output

Returns a list of FDA drug application records including applicant/sponsor company name (entity-resolved where possible), brand name, active ingredient, dosage form, route of administration, application type (NDA/ANDA/BLA), marketing status, original approval date, and most recent supplement approval date.
