The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has launched a new application programming interface allowing users to search for adverse medical device event reports dating back to 1992.
The new API is part of the openFDA project, which offers the public access to data from projects in both the public and private sector through APIs.
The new API is for the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience dataset and will allow software to directly interact with the data.
