RecallDB for newsrooms
The problem
Reporters need to know about big recalls fast and check a company's history, across agencies that each publish differently.
Poll the new-recalls feed or get a webhook, look up every recall a company has filed across agencies, and cite the agency's own notice. Non-profit and public-interest journalism counts as non-commercial use.

Example
curl "https://recalldb.app/v1/new?since=2026-11-01&limit=50" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $RECALLDB_KEY"Free and Pro
Free (beta): Free for non-commercial journalism: 1,000 requests a month, attribution required.
Pro (planned): A commercial publisher needs Pro (planned). Daily full-field snapshots are planned for Pro; for non-commercial reporting, request research access to the monthly snapshots at /data.
Every answer names the agency and links its official notice. RecallDB reports what notices say; it never tells anyone that a car or product is free of recalls.
