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 ## GoodRx Drug Prices Scraper Compare GoodRx prescription prices across nearby pharmacies by drug, ZIP, form, dosage, quantity, radius, sort order, and pickup or mail-order mode. The actor extracts structured pharmacy offer rows for price monitoring, prescription price intelligence, and local pharmacy comparison workflows. This actor uses a real browser because GoodRx renders the price list inside a protected Next.js page. It does not call private partner APIs, does not sign in, and does not submit any SMS, email, insurance, prescription-transfer, or order flows. ### Features - Search one or many drugs across one or many US ZIP codes. - Compare pickup pharmacies, mail-order offers, or both. - Extract coupon price, retail/list price, GoodRx Gold price when available, distance, address, and deep links. - Filter emitted rows by pharmacy chain after extraction. - Retry blocked or wrong-location pages with fresh browser and proxy sessions. - Save run summaries, normalized search specs, failed targets, and drug monographs to key-value storage. - Optionally open discovered printable coupon pages and extract public coupon fields. ### Inputs - `drugNames`: Drug names such as `atorvastatin`, `Lipitor`, or `Adderall XR`. - `startUrls`: Direct GoodRx drug URLs, such as `https://www.goodrx.com/atorvastatin`. - `zips`: One or more US ZIP codes. The actor sets the GoodRx location cookie before loading each price page. - `form`, `dosage`, `quantity`, `radius`, `sortBy`, `deliveryType`: GoodRx price-filter controls. - `pharmacyChains`: Optional post-extraction chain filter. - `resolveAutocomplete`: Optional GoodRx autocomplete resolution. It is off by default to reduce extra protected-page navigation. - `maxAttemptsPerTarget`: Retries blocked or wrong-location pages with a fresh browser and proxy session. - `includeCoupons`: When enabled, opens discovered printable coupon URLs only and extracts public BIN/PCN/Group/Member ID fields. - `proxyConfig`: US residential proxy settings. GoodRx commonly gates datacenter or non-US traffic. #### Example Input ```json { "drugNames": ["atorvastatin"], "zips": ["94110"], "quantity": 30, "radius": 10, "sortBy": "lowest_price", "deliveryType": "pickup", "maxOffersPerDrugZip": 10, "maxAttemptsPerTarget": 3, "proxyConfig": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` #### Multi-ZIP Example ```json { "drugNames": ["atorvastatin", "metformin"], "zips": ["94110", "10001", "60614"], "deliveryType": "both", "maxOffersPerDrugZip": 5, "includeCoupons": false } ``` ### Output Each pharmacy offer row includes: - Drug input, resolved slug, canonical drug name, ZIP, delivery type - Pharmacy chain, store name, address, distance - GoodRx coupon price, retail/list price, savings percent, Gold price when surfaced - Printable coupon URL and optional coupon fields - GoodRx pharmacy deep link and raw audit text Run metadata is saved to the default key-value store under `SUMMARY`, `SEARCH_SPECS`, `FAILED_TARGETS`, and `DRUG_MONOGRAPHS`. #### Example Output ```json { "type": "pharmacy_offer", "source": "goodrx", "status": "ok", "drugInput": "atorvastatin", "canonicalDrugName": "atorvastatin", "zip": "94110", "deliveryType": "pickup", "pharmacyChain": "Costco", "storeName": "Costco Pharmacy", "address": "450 10th St, San Francisco, CA 94103", "distanceMiles": 0.8, "couponPriceUsd": 11.52, "couponPriceText": "$11.52", "listPriceUsd": 39.99, "listPriceText": "$39.99", "savingsPercent": 71, "couponUrl": "https://www.goodrx.com/...", "pharmacyDeepLink": "https://www.goodrx.com/atorvastatin", "quantity": 30, "radiusMiles": 10, "scrapedAt": "2026-06-01T06:49:58.000Z" } ``` ### Pricing Primary charge: $70 per 1,000 GoodRx price pages. A price page is one drug, one ZIP code, and one delivery mode. Pharmacy offer rows are charged separately at $2.50 per 1,000 emitted rows. Optional printable coupon extraction is charged only when enabled. Diagnostic rows for blocked pages, ambiguous names, no-offer pages, or navigation failures are not charged as successful price pages. ### Limitations - GoodRx may change prices, availability, filters, and rendered page payloads without notice. - This actor depends on browser rendering and US residential proxy quality, so large jobs should keep concurrency low. - It does not verify prescriptions, insurance eligibility, pharmacy inventory, checkout totals, or whether a coupon will be accepted at the counter. - It does not sign in to GoodRx accounts or submit SMS, email, prescription-transfer, refill, or purchase flows. ### Notes The actor parses both visible price cards and GoodRx's rendered Next.js payload, then rejects Companion-only upsells and wrong-location pages. GoodRx prices can change and may vary by exact drug, form, dosage, quantity, ZIP, pharmacy, insurance status, and account state. Treat actor output as price-comparison data, not medical or pharmacy advice. Users should verify final price and medication details with the pharmacy. # Actor input Schema ## `drugNames` (type: `array`): Drug names to price. Brand and generic names are kept distinct because GoodRx displays different pages for each. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Optional direct GoodRx drug page URLs such as https://www.goodrx.com/atorvastatin. Existing URL params are preserved and can be overridden by the inputs below. ## `zips` (type: `array`): US ZIP codes used for GoodRx location and nearby pharmacy distance calculations. ## `form` (type: `string`): GoodRx form slug or plain text, e.g. tablet, capsule, extended-release-tablet, oral-solution, inhaler. ## `dosage` (type: `string`): GoodRx dosage slug or plain text, e.g. 20mg, 1mg/ml, 100mcg. The actor normalizes spaces, slashes, and decimals. ## `quantity` (type: `integer`): Prescription quantity. GoodRx may clamp very large quantities to the page's allowed maximum. ## `radius` (type: `integer`): Search radius in miles. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): GoodRx price-list sort order. ## `deliveryType` (type: `string`): Pickup pharmacies, mail-order offers, or both. ## `pharmacyChains` (type: `array`): Optional chain-name filter applied after extraction, e.g. Costco, Walgreens, Walmart. ## `resolveAutocomplete` (type: `boolean`): Try GoodRx in-page autocomplete before pricing typed drug names. Leave off for lower block risk when drug names already match GoodRx slugs. ## `includeCoupons` (type: `boolean`): Open only discovered printable coupon URLs and extract public BIN/PCN/Group/Member ID fields. Does not submit SMS, email, signup, transfer, or order flows. ## `maxOffersPerDrugZip` (type: `integer`): Maximum pharmacy offer rows emitted for each drug/ZIP/delivery-type page. ## `maxAttemptsPerTarget` (type: `integer`): Retry a blocked or wrong-location page with a fresh browser and proxy session. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Number of GoodRx pages processed in parallel. Keep low because GoodRx is browser-bound and proxy-sensitive. ## `delayMs` (type: `integer`): Base delay between browser page runs in milliseconds. ## `navigationTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Per-page browser navigation timeout. ## `saveDebugHtml` (type: `boolean`): Save blocked, failed, or no-price page HTML and screenshots to the default key-value store. ## `proxyConfig` (type: `object`): Residential US proxies are strongly recommended for GoodRx. Datacenter IPs often produce location gates or bot checks. ## Actor input object example ```json { "drugNames": [ "atorvastatin" ], "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.goodrx.com/atorvastatin" } ], "zips": [ "94110" ], "quantity": 30, "radius": 10, "sortBy": "lowest_price", "deliveryType": "pickup", "resolveAutocomplete": false, "includeCoupons": false, "maxOffersPerDrugZip": 25, "maxAttemptsPerTarget": 3, "maxConcurrency": 1, "delayMs": 3000, "navigationTimeoutSecs": 45, "saveDebugHtml": false, "proxyConfig": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description ## `summary` (type: `string`): No description ## `failedTargets` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
