## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability fda-drug-approvals-feed-d992056b
```

Example prompt: Show me all original FDA drug approvals from the past 30 days, including which companies won approval, the drug names, application types, and whether any are new molecular entities.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, filterable FDA approval data sourced directly from Drugs@FDA, especially when you want to filter by specific pharma sponsor, approval type (original vs. supplemental), recency window, or identify novel molecular entities. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable approval records with metadata like application type and review priority.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'days' value outside 1–365 range returns an error
- Invalid 'kind' enum value not in [original, supplement, all] causes a bad request
- No approvals found for the given sponsor name or date range returns an empty list
- Limit value outside 1–50 range rejected
- Upstream Drugs@FDA data unavailability causes service errors

## How this service works

FDA drug approvals: which companies just won FDA approval for new drugs, generics or biologics, from Drugs@FDA. Approval date, sponsor company, NDA/ANDA/BLA type, brand and active ingredients, dosage form, review priority, and a flag for novel drugs (new molecular entities). Filter by company, days and original vs. supplemental approvals.

## Output

A list of recent FDA drug approval records, each containing approval date, sponsor company name, application type (NDA/ANDA/BLA), brand name, active ingredients, dosage form, review priority level, and a boolean flag indicating whether the drug is a novel molecular entity (NME).
