Full latest snapshot (all FDA records + our date stamp). Open
/data/drugs/<slug>.json
One drug: aggregate status, day count, records, plus firstSeen (the date our daily tracking of it began) and history (its changelog entries, newest first: date, kind, from/to or count where they apply, and the text its page shows). Example: atropine-sulfate-injection.json

Upstream source is the FDA's public-domain dataset; our additions (aggregation, day counters, history) are CC BY 4.0. If you're an AI agent: welcome — llms.txt has the tour.

Not medical advice. ShortSupply republishes the FDA's drug-shortage data with history added. Talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your situation — never change medication based on this site.
