Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Jameda Scraper — German Doctors & Medical Practices **Extract doctor profiles from [jameda.de](https://www.jameda.de) — Germany's #1 medical directory with 1.6M+ medical professionals and 18M monthly visitors.** Built for **healthtech platforms, B2B medical lead-gen, market research, and competitive intel on healthcare providers** in the DACH region. ### What you get - **Premium per-doctor enriched data**: name, title prefix (Dr. med. / Prof.), specialty + sub-specialties, full address with district, multiple phones in E.164 format, insurance types, languages, practice name - **Bypasses jameda anti-bot** — curl-cffi TLS-impersonation + DE residential proxy + session warm-up + 403-retry logic - **Filter by specialty + city + district** (e.g., Zahnarzt in Berlin-Mitte) - **No headless browser** — pure HTTP speed - **Pre-built dataset Overview** in Apify Console for instant inspection ### Why this scraper (vs. alternatives) | | Build your own | Generic scraper | **This actor** | |---|---|---|---| | Bypasses jameda anti-bot | Very hard — datacenter IPs get instant 403 | Almost always fails | Built-in TLS-impersonation + DE residential | | Detail-enriched (always-on) | Manual | No | Default `fetchDetails: true` | | Phones normalized to E.164 | Manual | No | `+49...` format | | District + insurance-types | Often missed | No | Captured | | DE residential proxy | Costs $50+/mo | Bring your own | Included | ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `specialty` | `string` | Medical specialty slug: `zahnarzt`, `hautarzt`, `frauenarzt`, `kinderarzt`, `orthopaede`, `hno-arzt`, `kardiologe`, `urologe`, `neurologe`, `psychotherapeut`, `allgemeinarzt`, `internist`, etc. | | `city` | `string` | German city slug, lowercase (e.g., `berlin`, `muenchen`, `hamburg`, `koeln`, `frankfurt`) | | `district` | `string` | Optional district within the city (e.g., `mitte`, `kreuzberg`) | | `startUrls` | `string[]` | Direct jameda URLs (overrides specialty + city + district) | | `fetchDetails` | `bool` | Visit each profile for address, phones, opening hours **(default `true` — strongly recommended)** | | `maxResults` | `int` | Default 50, max 5000 | | `delaySeconds` | `float` | Default 2.0s (jameda has stricter rate-limits) | | `proxyConfiguration` | `object` | **Required**: Apify DE residential default | ### Example Input ```json { "specialty": "zahnarzt", "city": "berlin", "district": "mitte", "fetchDetails": true, "maxResults": 50, "delaySeconds": 2.0 } ```` ### Output (sample) ```json { "slug": "kurdin-alsolivany", "url": "https://www.jameda.de/kurdin-alsolivany/zahnarzt/berlin", "name": "Kurdin Alsolivany", "title_prefix": "Dr. med. dent.", "specialty": "Zahnärztin", "sub_specialties": ["Parodontologie", "Ästhetische Zahnmedizin", "Endodontologie", "Implantologie"], "is_sponsored": false, "review_count": 173, "practice_name": "Zahnarztpraxis Dr. Kurdin Alsolivany", "address": "Schönhauser Str. 17, 1.OG, Steglitz, 12157 Berlin", "street": "Schönhauser Str. 17", "plz": "12157", "city": "Berlin", "district": "Steglitz", "phones": ["030 7957784", "030 79782088"], "primary_phone": "+49307957784", "insurance_types": ["Gesetzliche Krankenkassen", "Selbstzahler"], "languages": ["Deutsch", "Englisch"], "search_specialty": "zahnarzt", "search_city": "berlin", "scraped_at": "2026-05-28T16:00:00+00:00" } ``` > `practice_name`, `address`, `street`, `plz`, `city`, `district`, `phones`, `primary_phone`, `insurance_types`, `languages` only when `fetchDetails: true`. ### Use cases - **HealthTech B2B** — build provider databases per region/specialty for booking platforms, EMR integrations - **Medical B2B lead-gen** — outreach to medical practices (equipment, software, consulting, services) - **Market research** — density analysis, specialty distribution, rating averages per region - **Patient platforms** — aggregate practice info for "find a doctor" tools - **Compliance** — verify doctor registration / specialty claims at scale - **Pharma & medtech** — identify clinics matching your product's specialty profile ### Pricing **Pay-Per-Event** — premium B2B medical data: - `$0.03` per doctor profile - `$0.00005` actor-start fee #### Example runs | Use case | Doctors | Cost | |---|---|---| | Berlin-Mitte dentists | 50 | **$1.50** | | Full Berlin dentist coverage | 200 | **$6.00** | | 5-city dental B2B lead-gen sweep | 500 | **$15.00** | | Nationwide specialty snapshot | 2,000 | **$60.00** | ### Important notes - **DE residential proxy is mandatory** — datacenter IPs get instant 403 - Default `fetchDetails: true` because listing pages contain only name + specialty (sparse) - Patient reviews are NOT scraped (jameda actively defends those) - Rating value is rendered client-side in React and not included; review-count is captured - Use `delaySeconds: 2.0+` to stay under rate-limits ### Tips - For nationwide coverage of a specialty, omit `district` and increase `maxResults` - Combine with **anwalt-de-scraper** for full professional-services B2B coverage - Schedule monthly runs from Apify Console for market change-tracking - Use the dataset's Overview view in the Apify Console to inspect results immediately after a run ### FAQ **Q: Why is the DE residential proxy required?**\ A: jameda.de blocks all datacenter IPs at the network level. You'll get instant 403s without residential. **Q: How does the actor stay under jameda's rate-limits?**\ A: Default `delaySeconds: 2.0` + warm-up session + automatic re-warmup on 403 responses. Tested stable at 50-200 profiles per run. **Q: Can I get patient reviews?**\ A: Only the review-count. Full review text is intentionally not scraped — jameda actively defends it and it would also trigger faster blocks. **Q: Why no doctor email addresses?**\ A: jameda hides email behind a contact form and does not publish them publicly. Phone + address are the contact channels available. **Q: How fresh is the data?**\ A: Real-time. Every run fetches live from jameda.de. ### Related actors - **[anwalt-de-scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/anwalt-de-scraper)** — German lawyers directory (same premium B2B tier) - **[kleinanzeigen-scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/kleinanzeigen-scraper)** — German marketplace listings - **[immowelt-scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/immowelt-scraper)** — German real estate - **[wg-gesucht-scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/wg-gesucht-scraper)** — shared apartments ### Legal & compliance - Scrapes publicly accessible profile pages only - Practice contact info is public via jameda directory - GDPR: doctor contact data is treated as business data, but you remain responsible for compliant downstream use - Don't scrape patient reviews / personal opinions for republication ### Support & feature requests Open an issue on the Actor page or contact via Apify Console messaging. Custom features welcome. # Actor input Schema ## `specialty` (type: `string`): Specialty slug as used on jameda.de (e.g., 'zahnarzt', 'hautarzt', 'orthopaede', 'frauenarzt', 'kinderarzt', 'augenarzt', 'hno-arzt', 'kardiologe', 'urologe', 'neurologe', 'psychotherapeut', 'allgemeinarzt', 'internist'). Required unless startUrls provided. ## `city` (type: `string`): German city slug, lowercase (e.g., 'berlin', 'muenchen', 'hamburg', 'koeln', 'frankfurt'). Required unless startUrls provided. ## `district` (type: `string`): Optional district within the city (e.g., 'mitte', 'kreuzberg', 'schoeneberg' for Berlin). ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Direct jameda.de listing URLs (overrides specialty + city + district). ## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`): Visit each doctor profile for full address, phone numbers, opening hours, full description. STRONGLY recommended for usable B2B data — listing page only contains name+specialty+review-count. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum doctors to scrape (0 = unlimited, default 50). ## `delaySeconds` (type: `number`): Polite delay between HTTP requests (default 2s, jameda has stricter rate-limits than most). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): REQUIRED: Apify DE residential proxy. jameda.de blocks all datacenter and non-DE IPs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "specialty": "zahnarzt", "city": "berlin", "startUrls": [ "https://www.jameda.de/zahnarzt/berlin" ], "fetchDetails": true, "maxResults": 50, "delaySeconds": 2, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "DE" } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
