openFDA Drug (Independent Publisher) (Preview)

openFDA 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.
