Record schema

Fields on every record in `prices`
Field	Meaning
`provider`	Display name of the telehealth provider or manufacturer channel.
`total_monthly_usd`	Medication plus any membership you cannot decline, read from the TOTAL column of the source table. Committed-plan rates are monthly equivalents (plan total ÷ plan months); the note states the plan length.
`is_starting_price`	`true` when the provider publishes the figure as “from” or “starting at”. Never quote a starting price as a maintenance-dose cost.
`required_fee`	A mandatory fee billed separately from the medication, if any.
`format_or_billing`	Injectable, Oral / pill, or Sublingual.
`note`	Molecule, programme, plan length, plan total, other plan lengths, and any restatement (e.g. “Cut from $145 on 2026-09-04”).
`verification_status`	Verified — we hold a dated capture from the provider. Reported — provider-stated or third-party, not captured by us. Pending — under review. A Verified figure and a Reported one are not equivalent.

Example

curl -s https://semaglutidewatchdog.com/api/cheapest.json | jq '.cheapest_verified'
{
  "provider": "NexLife",
  "total_monthly_usd": 110,
  "is_starting_price": false,
  "required_fee": null,
  "format_or_billing": "Injectable",
  "note": "Semaglutide microdose, 12-month plan ($1,320 total). Month-to-month $129; 6-month $114; 3-month $119. Unchanged at the 2026-09-04 capture.",
  "verification_status": "Verified"
}

Restatements and revision notes

When a record moves because the market moved, the note says so (“Cut from $145 on 2026-09-04”). When a record moves because we corrected our own data, meta.revision_note says so and the previous capture dates are listed in meta.previous_captures. We do not restate a series silently. The most recent restatement, 2026-09-04: NexLife cut three programmes (standard semaglutide $145 → $119, standard tirzepatide $186 → $139, microdose tirzepatide $147 → $129, 12-month plan rates); records were re-sorted; nothing was added or removed.
