Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.agentstools.dev/drug/shortagesWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time FDA-sourced drug shortage status for a specific generic drug name, including manufacturer-level detail, dosage form breakdowns, and shortage dates. Prefer this over general web search when structured, machine-readable shortage data is required for pharmaceutical compliance, supply chain monitoring, or healthcare decision support.
Side effects
- Drug name not found in FDA shortage database — returns empty result set
- Misspelled or brand-name drug provided instead of generic — may return no results
- FDA data source temporarily unavailable — upstream connectivity error
- Rate limit or payment failure — 402 or 429 response
