shortwatch v0.1.1 — change-event feed
Adds a subscribable change-event feed — the diffable change log no official source publishes.
data/feed.xml(Atom 1.0) anddata/events.jsonnow stream every drug that enters or leaves the US shortage list. Drop the feed into any RSS reader, Slack, or a webhook bridge.- Derived from the history ledger; the feed's
updatedtimestamp tracks the newest event, so it only changes when the data actually changes — no daily churn. - New
src/events.py(build_events()/build_atom()), wired into the daily run. Still zero runtime dependencies; 41 tests.
Informational use only — not medical advice.
shortwatch v0.1.0
First public release.
What it does
- Tracks US drug shortages from the openFDA Drug Shortages feed, refreshed automatically every day.
- Honest counts: separates drugs currently in shortage (72) from planned "to be discontinued" (173) — the headline number means what it says.
- Git-diffable history: every daily snapshot is committed, building the open historical record the FDA removes from its public list after ~6 months.
- Machine-readable API:
data/latest.json+data/latest.csvyou can drop into a notebook, a P&T report, or an LLM pipeline. - Interactive dashboard, zero runtime dependencies, self-running via GitHub Actions — no server.
Data source: openFDA (public, no key). openFDA data is unvalidated; always verify against the primary FDA Drug Shortages database.
Scope: informational tool only — not medical advice, not a diagnostic device, not for clinical decisions.
