FDA drug recall enforcement reports, newest first. All filters optional. Each record includes recall number, status (Ongoing/Completed/Terminated/Pending), classification (Class I/II/III), product description, reason for recall, initial-notification mechanism, voluntary-vs-mandated flag, recalling firm name + city/state/country, distribution pattern, and recall + report dates. Backed by OpenFDA's /drug/enforcement endpoint; data is public-domain US government records.
/api/gov/fda-recallsPAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The fda recalls API is a pay-per-call gov endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. FDA drug recall enforcement reports, newest first.
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 recalls 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.
