Frequently asked questions
ArisGlobal LifeSphere scores F on the API Report Card. No public API. LifeSphere runs drug safety for 4 of the top 5 biopharmas and the FDA itself, but every integration surface is customer-gated: a locked API gateway, E2B regulatory exchange, and vendor services. No public docs, SDKs, or self-serve credentials.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
ArisGlobal LifeSphere is the dominant pharmacovigilance and drug-safety software suite for the life sciences industry.
Healthcare, specifically life sciences R&D: biopharmaceutical companies, biotechs, CROs, and government health authorities. Drug-safety and pharmacovigilance teams live in LifeSphere daily: intake of adverse-event reports from gateways, email, and call centers; case triage, coding (MedDRA), and quality review; periodic and expedited regulatory report generation; and electronic submission to health authorities over E2B R2/R3 gateways (EudraVigilance EVWEB/AS2, FDA ESG) with acknowledgment tracking.
Within pharmacovigilance, LifeSphere is the market leader: 300+ safety customers processing more than 7 million safety cases annually, the preferred safety platform of 4 of the 5 largest biopharmas and 23 of the top 50 life sciences organizations, and in use at regulatory authorities including the FDA.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
