## 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 medapi-drug-recalls-a8a61656 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if there have been any FDA recalls for metformin — I want to know the recall class, reason, and affected products?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to check whether a specific drug or pharmaceutical product has been subject to an FDA recall, especially when you need structured recall metadata (class, reason, affected lots). Prefer this over general web search when you need programmatic, structured recall data that can be parsed and acted upon by an AI agent. Best suited for safety verification workflows, compliance checks, and patient safety queries about specific medications.

## Known failure modes

- No recall records found for the specified drug — returns empty result set
- Invalid or unrecognized drug name — may return empty results or error
- API payment failure via x402 on Base — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or server error — returns 5xx response
- Overly broad query returning too many results — may need filtering by date or class

## How this service works

Drug data, adverse events, clinical trials, PubMed. AI-powered medical analysis. 17 endpoints. x402 on Base.

## Output

Returns a list of FDA drug recall records matching the query, including recall class (I, II, or III), reason for recall, affected product descriptions, recall initiation date, recalling firm, and FDA recall number.
