Approval dates for drugs from FDA?

Question

OpenFDA is awesome! I wish we had anything similar here in the UK.

Is there a way to get drug approval dates via the API? I'm interested in knowing what date a drug was approved by the FDA.

I think this exists in the API for devices, but I can't see the information in queries for drugs.

The data exists on the FDA website, but it would be awesome if these could be retrieved through the API too.

It doesn't look like that information is available. Might want to file a feature request on GitHub.
