Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/drug/shortagesWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time FDA drug shortage status for a specific generic drug — for example, to inform procurement decisions, alert healthcare providers, or verify supply chain risks. Prefer this over general drug databases when the specific need is shortage tracking and FDA-sourced status.
Side effects
- Drug name not found in FDA shortage database — returns empty list or no results
- Misspelled or brand-name drug name provided — may return no results (requires generic name)
- FDA data source temporarily unavailable — upstream service error
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol
