Only the DIN column is returned, renamed as din for convenience.

Usage

Value

A tibble with a single column:

• din: The Drug Identification Number

Details

This function sends a GET request to the Health Canada Drug Product Database API. It supports caching via the memoise package to avoid redundant calls, and respects a rate limit between successive API requests.

If the API request fails or returns an error status code, the function returns NULL with an informative message.
