Meddata runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 75 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 10 Sep 2026.
Drug & supplement lookup and interaction checks from free U.S. government health data.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Meddata every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
