How is Clinical Trial & FDA Signal Alerts different from ClinicalTrials.gov Sponsor Pipeline Scraper and FDA Warning Letters Scraper?
Clinical Trial & FDA Signal Alerts (taroyamada/clinical-trials-fda-watch-monitor): Watch drugs, sponsors, and conditions across ClinicalTrials.gov and openFDA: new-trial alerts, trial status changes, and FDA drug recall signals as source-linked rows. Not a sponsor-pipeline snapshot of ClinicalTrials.gov studies (use ClinicalTrials.gov Sponsor Pipeline Scraper). Not an FDA warning-letter digest. Not a PubMed evidence-gap report. You supply watches. ClinicalTrials.gov Sponsor Pipeline Scraper is for Sponsor/condition study inventory (input sponsors / conditions; ClinicalTrials.gov; Study rows). Not FDA recall/enforcement signal alerts. FDA Warning Letters Scraper is for FDA warning-letter pages (input search terms; FDA warning letters; Letter rows). Not ClinicalTrials.gov status watches. PubMed & Clinical Trials Evidence Gap Report is for PubMed vs trials evidence gap (input query terms; PubMed + ClinicalTrials.gov; Evidence-gap report). Not openFDA recall signal alerts.
What input is required?
Live required fields: watches. Published exampleRunInput is shown below.
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
dryRun |
boolean | false |
Dry run. Return sample value-event rows without fetching live sources. |
watches |
any[] | [{"id": "glp1-obesity-watch", "drugs": ["semaglutide", "tirzepatide"], "conditions": ["obesity"], "sponsors": ["Novo Nordisk", "Eli Lilly"]}] |
Watches. Drug, condition, sponsor, and keyword watches. Each watch needs at least one of drugs, conditions, sponsors, or keywords. Optional phases/statuses filters apply to ClinicalTrials.gov only; note a statuses filter can hide status-change alerts for trials that leave the filtered set. Required. |
sources |
string[] | ["trials", "fda"] |
Sources. Public sources to query. No API keys required. |
monitorKey |
string | "my-clinical-trials-fda-watch" |
Monitor key. Stable key for stateful no-change monitoring. |
initialRunMode |
string enum | "baseline_only" |
Initial run mode. baseline_only saves state and emits no billable rows. emit_backfill emits current matches for charged proof or first reports. enum: baseline_only, emit_backfill |
generateReport |
boolean | false |
Generate watch report ($5). Opt-in: generate a source-linked pipeline watch report row when alerts are found. |
emitExport |
boolean | false |
Generate export row ($7). Opt-in: generate an export bundle row when alerts are found. |
emitRawRows |
boolean | false |
Emit raw record rows. Optional low-priced raw rows. Main value is alert rows. |
maxRecordsPerWatch |
integer | 50 |
Max records per watch. Maximum source records to normalize per watch and source before dedupe and alert generation. minimum=1 maximum=100 |
maxChargeUsd |
number | 25 |
Max charge USD. Fail closed before delivery if the estimated PPE charge would exceed this amount. minimum=0.1 maximum=250 |

How do dataset, webhook, and dry-run delivery work?
Dataset output is the billable surface when rows are written. See live PPE for which events bill. dryRun true validates or samples without the usual dataset/webhook side effects described on the Store schema. Unchanged runs that write zero default-dataset rows typically charge $0.00 on current PPE.
What does a result contain?
Published README Output Example / Sample Output JSON. Treat README samples as illustrations, not a live coverage guarantee. There is no published output JSON schema on the Store page.
