--- name: lookup.bustercall.workers.dev description: lookup.bustercall.workers.dev provides three read-only data lookup endpoints: two covering FDA recall records (drugs and medical devices) and one returning U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U monthly index data. All endpoints require no input parameters and return structured JSON with up to 30 records or approximately 27 months of data respectively. host: lookup.bustercall.workers.dev --- # lookup.bustercall.workers.dev This host aggregates a small set of U.S. government data lookups into a single payable API surface. It serves agents that need quick access to FDA drug or device recall records for compliance, auditing, or research purposes, and agents that need official BLS CPI-U figures for inflation calculations or nominal-value deflation. The three skills are independent of one another and cover distinct regulatory and economic data domains. ## When to use this host Use this host when an agent needs a no-configuration lookup of FDA drug recall records, FDA medical device recall records, or recent U.S. CPI-U monthly figures from the BLS. Do not use it for real-time drug safety alerts or FAERS adverse event data — those require the FDA's dedicated adverse event reporting endpoints. Do not use it for food recalls, which require a separate FDA recall endpoint not available here. Do not use it for non-U.S. inflation indices, intraday or real-time price data, or BLS series other than CUUR0000SA0. If an agent needs broader BLS series coverage or other economic indicators, query the BLS public API directly. The three skills on this host are independent; there are no meaningful cross-skill workflows. ## Capabilities ### FDA Recall Records Retrieves batch recall records from the FDA for both pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices, including recall classification, status, reason, and recalling firm details. - **`fetch-fda-drug-recalls`** — Returns up to 30 FDA drug recall records in JSON, including recall number, classification, status, product description, reason, dates, and recalling firm. - **`fetch-fda-device-recalls`** — Returns up to 30 FDA medical device recall records in structured JSON, including recall number, classification, status, product description, reason for recall, initiation date, report date, and recalling firm. ### U.S. Inflation Data Fetches official BLS CPI-U series metadata and approximately 27 months of monthly index values for use in inflation rate calculations or nominal value deflation. - **`fetch-bls-cpi-series`** — Returns U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U (CUUR0000SA0) series metadata and recent monthly index values going back approximately 27 months. ## Skill reference ### `fetch-fda-drug-recalls` **FDA Drug Recalls Lookup** — Returns up to 30 FDA drug recall records in JSON, including recall number, classification, status, product description, reason, dates, and recalling firm. *Use when:* Use when an agent needs to retrieve current or historical FDA drug recall data, such as checking whether a specific drug has been recalled, reviewing recall classifications, or auditing recall statuses. *Not for:* Do not use for real-time drug safety alerts or adverse event reports; this endpoint returns recall records only, not FAERS adverse event data. **Returns:** Returns a JSON object with a count of 30 and a results array of FDA drug recall records, each containing recallNumber, classification, status, product description, reason, recallInitiationDate, reportDate, recallingFirm, and brandNames. **Example:** `GET https://lookup.bustercall.workers.dev/gov/fda/drugs/recalls` --- ### `fetch-fda-device-recalls` **FDA Device Recalls Lookup** — Returns up to 30 FDA medical device recall records in structured JSON, including recall number, classification, status, product description, reason for recall, initiation date, report date, and recalling firm. *Use when:* Use when an agent needs to look up current or historical FDA medical device recall records, such as verifying whether a specific device has been recalled, checking recall classification, or auditing a manufacturer's recall history. *Not for:* Do not use for drug recalls or food recalls; those require separate FDA recall endpoints. Not suitable for real-time safety alerts or recall notifications — this is a batch lookup returning up to 30 records. **Returns:** Returns a JSON object with a device label, count of 30, and a results array of recall records each containing recallNumber, classification (Class I/II/III), status, product description, reason, initiation date, report date, and recalling firm. **Example:** `GET https://lookup.bustercall.workers.dev/gov/fda/devices/recalls` --- ### `fetch-bls-cpi-series` **BLS CPI Lookup** — Returns U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U (CUUR0000SA0) series metadata and recent monthly index values going back approximately 27 months. *Use when:* Use when an agent needs official U.S. Consumer Price Index data, such as computing inflation rates, deflating nominal values, or referencing recent monthly CPI-U readings from the BLS. *Not for:* Do not use for real-time or intraday price data; this endpoint returns monthly BLS CPI-U figures only. Not suitable for non-U.S. inflation indices or other BLS series beyond CUUR0000SA0. **Returns:** Returns a JSON object with the BLS series ID (CUUR0000SA0), a source label, and an array of ~27 monthly CPI-U index values with year, period code, period name, and numeric value (null if unreleased). **Example:** `GET https://lookup.bustercall.workers.dev/economics/bls/cpi` ---
