In partnership with the AWS Data Exchange team, [Rearc](https://rearc.io/data) has developed this Product for educational and experimentation purposes for you to get familiar with [AWS Data Exchange for API](https://aws.amazon.com/data-exchange/why-aws-data-exchange/apis/). You can make API calls to this product just as you would make API calls to the [openFDA API](https://open.fda.gov/apis/). The OpenFDA API lets you access public FDA data about drugs, medical devices, and foods.

For example:

```

aws dataexchange send-api-asset \

--data-set-id [REPLACE_ME] \

--revision-id [REPLACE_ME] \

--asset-id [REPLACE_ME] \

--method GET \

--path "/drug/event.json" \

```

or

```

import requests

headers = {

'Content-Type': 'application/json',

'x-amzn-dataexchange-asset-id': ' [REPLACE_ME]',

'x-amzn-dataexchange-data-set-id': ' [REPLACE_ME]',

'x-amzn-dataexchange-revision-id': ' [REPLACE_ME]'

}

r = requests.request('GET', 'https://api-fulfill.dataexchange.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/drug/event.json' ,auth=aws_auth, headers=headers)

```

**Note:** Please see the Entitled Data page after subscribing to get your dataset id, revision id, asset id

This would result in a JSON response:

```

### About the openFDA API

[openFDA](https://open.fda.gov/apis/) is an Elasticsearch-based API that serves public FDA data about nouns like drugs, devices, and foods.

Each of these nouns has one or more categories, which serve unique data-such as data about recall enforcement reports, or about adverse events. Every query to the API must go through one endpoint for one kind of data.

Not all data in openFDA has been validated for clinical or production use. And because openFDA only serves publicly available data, it does not contain data with Personally Identifiable Information about patients or other sensitive information.

The API returns individual results as JSON by default. The JSON object has two sections:

* meta: Metadata about the query, including a disclaimer, link to data license, last-updated date, and total matching records, if applicable.

* results: An array of matching results, dependent on which endpoint was queried.
