Querying Data with Python​

Here's how to access and query CodeRx data using Python with s3fs:

Note: You'll need to install s3fs, pandas, and pyarrow to work with parquet files. Install them with:

pip install s3fs pandas pyarrow
import s3fs
import pandas as pd

# Create filesystem interface
fs = s3fs.S3FileSystem(
    key='YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
    secret='YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'
)

# Read parquet file directly
df = pd.read_parquet(
    'YOUR_S3_BUCKET/drugs/drugs.parquet',
    filesystem=fs
)

# Filter and analyze
print(df.head())
print(f"Total drugs: {len(df)}")

Data Mart Structure​

Your Enterprise S3 bucket contains the full set of data marts, including:

  • drugs/ - Drug products with names, RXCUIs, dose forms
  • packages/ - NDC packages with pack sizes and marketing detail
  • ingredients/ - Active and inactive ingredients
  • classes/ - Drug classification systems
  • excipients/ - Inactive ingredients with safety data
  • synonyms/ - Drug name synonyms and aliases

Enterprise also includes pricing, packaging details, label images, REMS, indications, Part D plans, e-prescribing, and storage and handling. See the subscription plans and Pricing for the full comparison.

Version Control​

Each data mart folder contains:

  • Latest snapshot: {data_mart}/{data_mart}.csv or {data_mart}/{data_mart}.parquet (e.g., drugs/drugs.parquet)
  • Dated snapshots: {data_mart}/{data_mart}_YYYY-MM-DD.csv or {data_mart}/{data_mart}_YYYY-MM-DD.parquet (e.g., drugs/drugs_2026-01-16.parquet)

Files are updated weekly, with new dated snapshots added while the latest file is always updated to point to the most recent data.
