For developers
The same record over the API, and the raw payload
GET /v1/drugs/e23a8459-50df-4d98-9be3-6e92914da806 GET /v1/drugs/e23a8459-50df-4d98-9be3-6e92914da806?format=fhir
Every response carries last_synced_at, so freshness is a field rather than a promise. Below is exactly what the ingestion wrote, before any presentation — the same JSON the API returns under payload.
