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"]).
