# Safety Alerts

> Search UK MHRA safety alerts, including full alert document content.

The `mhra` dataset covers safety alerts from the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency: device safety notices, drug alerts, and recalls. Records include the alert headline and description plus the full attached documents with per-page extracted text, so you can search what an alert actually says.

<Info>
  Requires the MHRA dataset's Evidence scope. See the [Evidence overview](/guides/evidence/overview) for how scopes work.

## Search alerts

```bash theme={null}
curl -G 'https://api.scite.ai/api_partner/evidence/mhra' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
  --data-urlencode 'q=recall AND "hip implant"'
```

Each item in `results` includes `filename`, `domain`, `url`, and `attachments`. Attachments carry `extras` (`headLine`, `description`, `contentHtml`), file metadata, ontology `tags`/`categories`, and `pages` with extracted text (`content`) for full-document search.

Call `GET /api_partner/evidence/mhra/schema` for filterable fields, and use the `facets` endpoint to aggregate by category or date.

## Single alert

`GET /api_partner/evidence/mhra/{item_id}` returns one full alert with its attachments.

## Common uses

* **Recall monitoring**: watch for new alerts mentioning a product category or manufacturer.
* **Cross-jurisdiction safety view**: pair MHRA alerts with FDA [MAUDE and FAERS reports](/guides/evidence/adverse-events) to compare UK and US signals for the same product.
* **Compliance research**: full-text search of alert documents supports precise queries (model numbers, lot references) that headline-only feeds miss.
