I'm building an app using a free Canada API (no auth needed).

API: Health Canada ~ Drug Product Database API
Provider: Health Canada
Endpoint: GET https://health-products.canada.ca/api/drug/
It returns JSON.

Source: Health Canada (https://health-products.canada.ca/api/documentation/dpd-documentation-en.html)
Source type: Official open-data catalogue
Endpoint type: Open-data catalogue JSON
Integration difficulty: Copy-paste ready
Last checked: 2026-07-05
Production caveat: Still handle empty rows, schema changes, pagination, stale coverage, and temporary upstream failures.

Help me fetch this and build a simple page that displays it nicely. Include basic production safeguards for errors, empty responses, schema changes, caching, and rate limits.
