## Access points

Every HTML page has a Markdown twin at the same path with the `.md` extension. Example: `/how-to-read/` -> `/how-to-read.md`. Links inside the Markdown files already point to the twins.

Search index, served as JSON with open CORS:

- `https://fda-inspection-records-data.pages.dev/n/cles.json` — the name-index keys
- `https://fda-inspection-records-data.pages.dev/n/<key>.json` — names starting with that key -> [FEI, name, city, state or country, latest classification]
- `https://fda-inspection-records-data.pages.dev/r/<FEI mod 4096, 3 hex digits>.json` — firm records by FEI
- `https://fda-inspection-records-data.pages.dev/meta.json` — counts and capture date
- `/sitemap.xml` — every page

These paths are **version 1** and will not change without notice. Bulk access, an availability guarantee or a change feed goes through `/pro/`.

## What this site is NOT

- This is not the official register and does not replace consulting it.
- Holding a licence is the minimum legal requirement, not a quality mark.
- Firm-level FDA inspection records: classification (NAI/VAI/OAI), posted Form 483 observations, compliance actions.
- A Form 483 is not a final agency determination.
- This site ranks no firm.

## Privacy

No investigator is named; firms named after a person are searchable but not listed on any page.
