The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## Healthgrades Scraper Healthgrades doctor/profile scraper for healthcare lead generation, physician directory monitoring, and ratings research. Supports Healthgrades search URLs, specialty/location search, and direct doctor profile URLs. Uses HTTP first, then Camoufox browser fallback for protected pages. ### Features - Conservative default run size for Apify daily tests and smoke tests. - Residential proxy-ready configuration with US defaults. - HTTP/HTML first where practical, with Camoufox browser fallback for protected pages. - Multiple extraction strategies: embedded JSON, JSON-LD/app state, URL-pattern discovery, and DOM card parsing. - Clean structured JSON pushed to the default dataset. ### Input ```json { "maxResults": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" }, "specialty": "family-medicine", "location": "new-york-ny" } ```` See `.actor/input_schema.json` for all options. ### Output fields `name`, `specialty`, `rating`, `reviewCount`, `address`, `city`, `state`, `phone`, `profileUrl`, `sourceUrl`. ### Example output ```json { "sourceUrl": "https://example.com/search", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-28T00:00:00+00:00" } ``` ### Pricing guidance ### 💊 Pairs Well With **[GoodRx Drug Price Scraper](https://apify.com/h4sh/goodrx-drug-price-scraper)** — pharmacy pricing for prescription drugs in 11 seconds. Together they form the **Healthcare Data Pack**: provider intelligence + drug affordability data. Enterprise pricing for >100K combined records/month — contact via Apify support. ### Pricing guidance Recommended Apify Store PPE pricing: **$2 per 1,000 results** for search-result records. Increase pricing if detail-page enrichment is enabled in a future version. ### Limitations The target site may apply WAF, Cloudflare, PerimeterX, or similar anti-bot controls. The actor logs exact block evidence, attempts an alternative pattern/browser fallback, and exits gracefully if no data can be retrieved. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Healthgrades directory or search URLs to scrape. ## `specialty` (type: `string`): Medical specialty slug or phrase used when search URLs are not provided. ## `location` (type: `string`): City/state or Healthgrades location slug. ## `doctorUrls` (type: `array`): Direct Healthgrades provider profile URLs to scrape. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum doctors to return. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Residential US proxy is recommended for Healthgrades. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.healthgrades.com/family-practice-directory/ny-new-york/new-york" ], "specialty": "family-medicine", "location": "new-york-ny", "maxResults": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `doctors` (type: `string`): Default dataset containing Healthgrades Scraper results. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
