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 ## US Healthcare Provider Scraper (NPI Registry) **US Healthcare Provider Scraper (NPI Registry)** — a fast, reliable healthcare provider scraper that needs **no API key**. You pay only for the results you get: failed or empty runs are always free. This healthcare provider scraper runs on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com), so you can call it from the API, run it on a schedule, or export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets. ### What this scraper does - Extracts structured **healthcare provider** data with no browser or API key required - Returns clean JSON, one record per result — ready for sheets, databases, or apps - Pay-per-result pricing: you are never charged for a run that returns nothing - Runs on demand or on a schedule, and integrates with 5,000+ apps via the Apify API and webhooks ### What data you get Each result record includes fields such as: - **Npi** (`npi`) — e.g. `1104130236` - **Provider Type** (`providerType`) — e.g. `"NPI-1"` - **First Name** (`firstName`) — e.g. `"SHELLEY"` - **Last Name** (`lastName`) — e.g. `"AKEY"` - **Organization Name** (`organizationName`) — e.g. `null` - **Credential** (`credential`) — e.g. `"RN, NNP"` - **Gender** (`gender`) — e.g. `"F"` - **Status** (`status`) — e.g. `"A"` - **Primary Specialty** (`primarySpecialty`) — e.g. `"Nurse Practitioner, Neonatal"` - **Specialties** (`specialties`) — e.g. `["Nurse Practitioner, Neonatal"]` - **Address Line** (`addressLine`) — e.g. `"3010 CHILDRENS WAY"` - **City** (`city`) — e.g. `"SAN DIEGO"` - **State** (`state`) — e.g. `"CA"` - **Postal Code** (`postalCode`) — e.g. `"921234223"` ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `firstName` | string | Provider first name (person / NPI-1). Optional; combine with other criteria to narrow results. | | `lastName` | string | Provider last name (person / NPI-1). Optional. | | `organizationName` | string | Organization / facility name (NPI-2). Optional. Supports a trailing wildcard, e.g. "dental*". | | `taxonomyDescription` | string | Provider specialty / taxonomy description, e.g. "Dentist", "Internal Medicine", "Chiropractor". Optional. | | `city` | string | Practice-location city, e.g. "San Diego". Optional. | | `state` | string | Two-letter US state code, e.g. "CA", "NY", "TX". Optional. | | `postalCode` | string | 5- or 9-digit ZIP code. Supports a trailing wildcard, e.g. "921*". Optional. | | `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of provider records to return (paged 200 at a time; the API hard cap is 1200). | ### Example output ```json { "type": "provider", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-12T00:00:00Z", "npi": 1104130236, "providerType": "NPI-1", "firstName": "SHELLEY", "lastName": "AKEY", "organizationName": null, "credential": "RN, NNP", "gender": "F", "status": "A", "primarySpecialty": "Nurse Practitioner, Neonatal", "specialties": [ "Nurse Practitioner, Neonatal" ], "addressLine": "3010 CHILDRENS WAY", "city": "SAN DIEGO", "state": "CA", "postalCode": "921234223", "phone": "858-966-5818", "enumerationDate": "2010-07-30", "lastUpdated": "2025-03-03", "url": "https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/provider-view/1104130236" } ```` ### Use cases - Build targeted B2B prospect lists - Power sales prospecting and cold outreach - Map markets by category and geography - Enrich CRM records with firmographic data ### Run it as a monitor (alerts on new healthcare provider) Schedule this healthcare provider scraper to run automatically — hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule — with the built-in [Apify Scheduler](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules), and have results pushed to you by **webhook, email, Slack, or your own app** the moment they're ready. It's the easiest way to **monitor healthcare provider for changes over time** and get alerted the instant something new appears — no manual runs. Because pricing is per result, a scheduled monitor only ever charges you for the data each run actually returns. ### Pricing This actor uses **pay-per-result** pricing at **$0.0006 per record**. There is no monthly fee and no start fee — and **empty or failed runs cost $0**, so you only ever pay for data you actually receive. ### Frequently asked questions **Do I need an API key or account for the source?** No. This healthcare provider scraper works out of the box with no API key required. **What happens if a run returns no results?** You are not charged. Billing is per result, so empty or failed runs are free. **Can I run the healthcare provider scraper on a schedule?** Yes. Use the Apify Scheduler to run it hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule, and get results by webhook or API. **What export formats are supported?** Results can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or pushed to Google Sheets, a database, or your own app via the Apify API. **Is the data structured?** Yes. Every healthcare provider result is a clean, flat JSON record you can use immediately. # Actor input Schema ## `firstName` (type: `string`): Provider first name (person / NPI-1).
