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 ### Description This Apify actor automates scraping of the DaisyBill claims administrator directory, extracting comprehensive profiles with provider counts, injury stats, billing data, EDI grades, and more.... --- ## Daisybill Administrator Directory Spider ### Introduction The Daisybill Administrator Directory Spider is a powerful web scraping tool designed to extract comprehensive data from the DaisyBill claims administrator directory. It automates the collection of detailed profiles for claims administrators, including metrics like provider counts, injury statistics, billing data, and EDI grades, enabling efficient data gathering for analysis and decision-making. This actor delivers reliable, structured data in JSON format, saving time and effort for users in the insurance and claims management sectors. ### Features - **Comprehensive Data Extraction**: Scrapes detailed profiles including administrator names, types (TPA or Employer), provider and injury counts, billing statistics, FTP percentages, EDI grades, duplicate percentages, and average processing days. - **High Reliability**: Built with robust error handling and retry mechanisms to ensure consistent data retrieval from dynamic web sources. - **Flexible URL Configuration**: Supports multiple starting URLs, allowing targeted scraping of specific directory pages or custom endpoints. - **Structured JSON Output**: Produces clean, machine-readable data with unique identifiers for easy integration into databases or analytics tools. - **Performance Optimized**: Utilizes efficient scraping techniques to minimize load times and respect website limits, ensuring fast and ethical data collection. - **Apify Integration**: Seamlessly runs on the Apify platform with built-in monitoring, logging, and export options to JSON, CSV, or Excel. - **Customizable and Scalable**: Easily configurable for large-scale extractions, with support for custom fields or modifications via support channels. ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | |-----------|---------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------| | Urls | array | No | An array of URLs to start scraping from. Must be valid HTTP/HTTPS URLs. Defaults to the main directory page. | ["https://www.daisybill.com/claims-administrator-directory"] | ### Example Usage #### Input Configuration ```json { "Urls": [ "https://www.daisybill.com/claims-administrator-directory" ] } ```` #### Output Example ```json [ { "ca_name": "Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc.", "type": "TPA", "provider_count": "4,540", "injury_count": "131,441", "bill_count": "646,535", "ftp_percent": "95%", "edi_grade": "D", "edi_grade_class": "text-red-500", "duplicate_percent": "3%", "avg_days": 9, "link": "https://www.daisybill.com/claims-administrator-profile/sedgwick?view=national", "actor_id": "fSk85ePfGCYCdEmUr", "run_id": "kdJG9WFoV2ZYhN0ct" }, { "ca_name": "Gallagher Bassett Services Inc.", "type": "TPA", "provider_count": "3,500", "injury_count": "43,576", "bill_count": "226,179", "ftp_percent": "99%", "edi_grade": "B", "edi_grade_class": "text-green-600", "duplicate_percent": "1%", "avg_days": 6, "link": "https://www.daisybill.com/claims-administrator-profile/gallagher-bassett?view=national", "actor_id": "fSk85ePfGCYCdEmUr", "run_id": "kdJG9WFoV2ZYhN0ct" }, { "ca_name": "Nassco / General Dynamics", "type": "Employer", "provider_count": "111", "injury_count": "762", "bill_count": "3,388", "ftp_percent": "99%", "edi_grade": "D", "edi_grade_class": "text-red-500", "duplicate_percent": "1%", "avg_days": 18, "link": "https://www.daisybill.com/claims-administrator-profile/nassco?view=national", "actor_id": "fSk85ePfGCYCdEmUr", "run_id": "kdJG9WFoV2ZYhN0ct" } ] ``` ### Use Cases - **Market Research and Analysis**: Gather data on claims administrators to analyze market trends, performance metrics, and competitive landscapes in the insurance industry. - **Competitive Intelligence**: Monitor EDI grades, processing times, and billing efficiencies of rivals to inform strategic decisions. - **Price Monitoring**: Track FTP percentages and duplicate rates to assess cost-effectiveness and identify optimization opportunities. - **Content Aggregation**: Compile directory data for reports, dashboards, or databases used in claims management software. - **Academic Research**: Collect statistical data for studies on healthcare billing, injury claims, and administrative efficiencies. - **Business Automation**: Automate data feeds into CRM systems or analytics platforms for real-time insights and workflow automation. ### Installation and Usage 1.
