fda_get_approvals
Fetch full curated Drugs@FDA detail for up to ten applications.
Description
Fetch full curated Drugs@FDA detail for up to ten applications.
The shared envelope returns data.applications in request order. Each
application includes its catalog-resolved sponsor identity, curated
brand/generic names, products (active ingredients, dosage form, route,
and marketing status), and every stored original or efficacy-supplement
submission newest first. Each application and meta carry
source="openfda_drugsfda" plus the relevant export-date as_of;
pagination is null because the request list is bounded.
Use fda_search_approvals first when you know a sponsor or drug but not
an application number. Errors are unknown_entity when any requested
application number is absent and bad_parameter when a direct service
caller supplies zero or more than 10 numbers (schema-invalid list bounds
are rejected before dispatch).
Example: fda_get_approvals(application_numbers=["NDA212273", "NDA203188"]).
