What It Does

Scrapes Bookimed.com listing pages by country, city and/or procedure. Returns structured JSON for each clinic including name, rating, reviews, treatment prices, certifications, doctors and success rates.

Default run (prefill input): Scrapes clinics in Turkey, completes in under 3 minutes, and produces a non-empty dataset.

How It Works

Bookimed uses server-side rendering with a "Load More" button for pagination. This actor:

1. Launches Chrome via Playwright
2. Navigates to listing page (country + optional city/procedure)
3. Clicks "Load More" button to expand results
4. Parses all clinic cards from the rendered HTML
5. Extracts name, rating, prices, certifications, doctor info
6. Optionally fetches individual clinic profiles for rich data
