```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need bulk, paginated access to FDA drug approval records with filtering by sponsor, submission type, marketing status, or date — especially for monitoring new commercial drug launches or building intelligence pipelines over FDA approval data. Prefer it over manual openFDA queries when you need structured, normalized rows with cursor pagination and commercial-ready formatting.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid since date format returns a 400 validation error
- Unknown or misspelled sponsor fragment returns empty results with no error
- Invalid cursor token causes a 400 or 422 error
- Limit exceeding 1000 is capped or rejected with a 400 error
- openFDA upstream outage may cause 502/503 responses
- No results for very narrow date+sponsor+type filter combinations

## How this service works

Which drugs did the FDA just approve, and who is the sponsor? Bulk feed over openFDA Drugs@FDA approvals, newest-first by approval date — a new approval or supplement is a commercial-launch moment. Cursor-paginated up to 1000/page, filterable by sponsor, submission type (ORIG/SUPPL), marketing status, or since. Rows carry the sponsor, application number/type, brand names, active ingredients, dosage/route, and marketing status. Observational public records, never a clinical recommendation.

## Output

A paginated list of FDA drug approval records, each containing sponsor name, application number and type, brand name(s), active ingredients, dosage form, route of administration, marketing status, and approval date. Also includes a next_cursor token for fetching the next page and total count metadata.
