## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### 💡 Tips

- **Go granular for big cities** — add locality searches next to the city search (`dentist in koramangala, bangalore`, `dentist in indiranagar, bangalore`) to focus on the neighbourhoods you sell into. Duplicates across searches are removed automatically.
- **Several cities at once** — leave the city out of the query and set City to `Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad`.
- **Exact Practo filters** — apply sort/filters on practo.com, copy the URL and paste it into Direct Practo Listing URLs.
- **Schedule it** — run weekly to track new doctors, fee changes and rating movement.

### ❓ FAQ

**Does it collect doctors' personal phone numbers or emails?**
No. Practo does not publish doctors' personal contact details. The scraper returns only publicly displayed profile information; for hospitals and clinics it returns the public Practo booking line when listed.

**How many results can I get?**
Up to 20,000 per run. Practo shows 10 profiles per page; the scraper walks every page of each listing automatically.

**Is it legal?**
The actor collects publicly available business-directory information only. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws (including India's DPDP Act) and Practo's terms — for example, no unsolicited bulk messaging.

**Something not working?**
Open an issue on the **Issues** tab with your input and run ID and we will look into it.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Plain-English searches in the format '<specialty> in <city>' (e.g. 'dentist in bangalore', 'skin specialist in pune', 'hospitals in delhi', 'clinics in mumbai'). Target a neighbourhood with a comma: 'dentist in vasant vihar, delhi'. Common aliases are understood (gynaecologist, ENT, child specialist, Gurugram, Bengaluru, Kochi...). If a query has no city, the 'City' field below is used.

## `city` (type: `string`):

City used when a search query has no 'in <city>' part, or when Search Queries is empty. Separate several cities with commas (e.g. 'Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida'). 'All' scans India's 10 biggest Practo cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Gurgaon, Noida, Ahmedabad).

## `specialization` (type: `string`):

Used only when Search Queries is empty. Examples: General (general physician), Dentist, Dermatologist, Pediatrician, Gynecologist, ENT, Orthopedist, Cardiologist, Ophthalmologist, Psychiatrist, Physiotherapist, Homoeopath, Ayurveda, Hospitals, Clinics.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional Practo listing pages to scrape as-is, including any filters you applied on Practo (e.g. 'https://www.practo.com/delhi/dentist/vasant-vihar', 'https://www.practo.com/bangalore/hospitals'). Works for doctor, clinic and hospital listings.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of unique doctors / clinics / hospitals to extract across all queries.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy keeps the scraper unblocked. The default (Apify Proxy, automatic) works for most runs.
