FDA medical device adverse event reports (MAUDE), newest first by date received. All filters optional. Each record includes report number, event type, dates received + of event, manufacturer, brand/generic device name, model + catalog numbers, listed device problems, patient outcomes, and primary narrative text. Backed by OpenFDA's /device/event endpoint; public-domain US government records.
/api/gov/fda-device-eventsPAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The fda device events API is a pay-per-call gov endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. FDA medical device adverse event reports (MAUDE), newest first by date received.
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in fda device events data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs gov data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
