Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

alert

list_alert_firms

Who is on this import alert? Returns the firms red-listed on one alert number (from list_import_alerts), newest listing first, optionally narrowed to a country — for example every Vietnamese firm on 16-120, or every firm on 66-57. Each with the FDA page and a verbatim quote.

import

list_import_alerts

Which FDA import alerts are in here, and how many firms are on each? Returns the alert number, FDA's own title for it, the number of firms red-listed, how many countries they are in, and the newest listing date. Call this first to see what can be answered, and to get an alert number for list_alert_firms.

listing

get_listing

Everything FDA prints for one red-list entry: the firm name and address, the import alert and its title, the product code and description, FDA's stated reason (the Notes block — the actual finding, e.g. "Decomposition" or a confirmed laboratory result), and the date published, with the FDA page and a verbatim quote. Record IDs come from resolve_firm or list_alert_firms.

recent

list_recent_listings

Who has FDA red-listed recently? Returns the listings whose published date is on or after a date you give, newest first, optionally for one alert. Use this to watch a category — new detentions on the seafood alerts, say — rather than to look a firm up. The date FDA prints is when the FIRM was added to the alert.

resolve

resolve_firm

Is this supplier red-listed by FDA? Search the import alert red lists by firm name or part of one (e.g. "Tonga Tiur", "Qingdao", "pharmacy"), optionally narrowed to a country. Returns each listing with the import alert number and name, the country, the date FDA published the listing, and the FDA page and verbatim quote it was read from. A firm can appear more than once — one record per alert it is listed on.

verify

verify_quote

Is this right? Check a claim about a red-list entry — the alert number a firm is on, its country, the date it was published, FDA's stated reason — against the register instead of trusting it. Says whether the claim matches a stored value, appears only in the verbatim FDA quote, or differs (and then what FDA's page says instead).
