## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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).

## NPPES Occupational Therapist & OTA Leads

### 📊 Example output (real run)

![Sample output](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/1ztQFHwG8acESTazI/records/nppes-occupational-therapist-leads-sample)

A real record from a live run — clean structured data, exported as CSV / JSON / Excel or via API.


Extract licensed Occupational Therapist (OT) and OT Assistant (COTA) contact leads from the CMS NPPES NPI Registry. Filter by US state, city, and subspecialty (Hand, Pediatrics, Neuro, Rehab, Driver Rehab). Returns name, credential, address, phone, NPI, and email when published. Ideal for OT software vendors, staffing agencies, adaptive equipment suppliers, and healthcare recruiters.

---

### What you get (real output fields)

Every record includes:

- `npi`
- `provider_name`
- `credential`
- `specialty`
- `taxonomy_code`
- `practice_address`
- `practice_address2`
- `city`
- `state`
- `zip_code`
- `phone`
- `fax`
- `email`
- `gender`
- `enumeration_date`
- `last_updated`
- `status`

#### Example record (real output, one live run)

```json
{
  "npi": "1942335278",
  "provider_name": "KIRSTEN (COULTER) LEWIS",
  "credential": null,
  "specialty": "Occupational Therapist",
  "taxonomy_code": "225X00000X",
  "practice_address": "125 PRESUMPSCOT ST",
  "practice_address2": null,
  "city": "PORTLAND",
  "state": "ME",
  "zip_code": "04103",
  "phone": "207-828-0754",
  "fax": null,
  "email": null,
  "gender": "F",
  "enumeration_date": "2007-02-23",
  "last_updated": "2007-07-09",
  "status": "A"
}
````

***

### Use cases

- **Sales & lead generation** — build a targeted, verifiable outreach list from a real public source.
- **Market research** — measure coverage, count, and distribution for this category over time.
- **CRM / enrichment pipeline** — feed structured rows straight into your CRM, Clay, or a data warehouse.
- **Due diligence / verification** — every record traces back to its public source, so any lead can be checked by hand.

***

### How to use it

1. Run the actor (schedule it to catch new/changed records automatically).
2. Export results as **JSON, CSV, or Excel**, or pull via the Apify API/dataset.
3. Push straight into your CRM or outreach tool, or join it with our other lead/enrichment actors.

### Notes on data quality

- Data is pulled directly from the public source described above — not aggregated or resold.
- Fields the source left blank are returned as empty/null rather than guessed — no fabricated data.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "state": "TX",
    "maxResults": 500
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gocreative.ai/nppes-occupational-therapist-leads").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
