Filters

Send these under filters.fda_faers in a search request. A filter not listed here, or a value of the wrong type, is a 400. The top-level date_from and date_to set date_from and date_to below, so give a date in one place only.
​
string
Keyword match on drug names (BM25 tokenized). Example: ‘ozempic semaglutide’.
​
string
Keyword match on adverse reactions (BM25 tokenized). Example: ‘hepatotoxicity liver failure’.
​
string
Exact reporter country. Free-text with inconsistent forms — the same country appears as both a code and a full name (e.g. ‘US’ and ‘UNITED STATES’). Exact match reproduces one stored form only; prefer keywords for country filtering.
​
boolean
Seriousness flag (DB column is boolean). true = serious event, false = non-serious. FAERS source integer codes are also accepted: ‘1’ (serious) / ‘2’ (non-serious).
​
boolean
Death flag (DB column is boolean). true = death reported, false = no death. FAERS source integer codes are also accepted: ‘1’ (death) / ‘2’ (no death).
​
string
Reporting quarter, lowercase ‘q’ (e.g. ‘2024q1’). Input case is normalized, so ‘2024Q1’ also matches.
​
string (date)
Inclusive lower bound on receive date (YYYY-MM-DD).
​
string (date)
Inclusive upper bound on receive date (YYYY-MM-DD).
