NPI Registry Scraper: US Doctor, Dentist & Clinic Leads

Build lists of US healthcare providers from the official CMS NPPES NPI Registry: doctors, dentists, nurse practitioners, therapists, chiropractors, pharmacies, clinics, labs and more. Each row has the specialty, practice phone, fax, address, license number, NPI issue date and, for organizations, the authorized official.

No API key, no login, no browser. Data comes from the free public NPI Registry API run by the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Competitively priced: you pay only for providers saved after your filters.

Try it in under a minute

1. Keep the default sample (Dentists in Austin, TX) or change specialty / city / state.
2. Optional: set NPI issued in the last N days (e.g. 90) to catch newly registered practices.
3. Click Start, then open Dataset → Overview for name, specialty, phone, address and NPI date.
4. Export JSON, CSV or Excel, or connect Make / Zapier / n8n / the API. Turn on monitor mode and schedule weekly for a fresh practice feed.

Who uses it

• Healthcare sales & marketing (dental supply, medical devices, EHR/SaaS, billing, pharma): targeted provider lists by specialty and area.
• Agencies selling to practices: find newly registered practices (NPI issued in the last 30/90 days), the moment they need websites, software and suppliers.
• Healthcare recruiters: providers by specialty and city.
• Credentialing, payer and compliance teams: verify or enrich lists of NPI numbers.
• Researchers & analysts: market sizing by specialty and geography.

Features

• Search by specialty, city, state, ZIP code, organization or person name, or look up a list of NPI numbers.
• Newly registered filter (NPI issued in the last N days) and recently updated filter (moves, new phones).
• Auto-split past the API limit: the NPI API returns max 1,200 records per query; when a city search hits that, the Actor re-queries every ZIP it found, so big cities are covered.
• Individuals, organizations, or both. Optional "primary specialty must match" and "phone required".
• Sort by newest NPI, recently updated, name, or state/city. Sorting happens before your cap.
• Monitor mode: only providers you have not received before. Schedule weekly to get a fresh feed of new practices.
• No duplicates: one row per NPI.

The OUTPUT record holds a run summary (API records read, queries, split queries, API-limit warnings).

Why this Actor

• Official government source, not a scraped directory, so data matches what CMS publishes daily.
• Find new practices: the "NPI issued in the last N days" filter is a lead source most directories don't offer.
• Clean, Excel-ready columns: formatted phones, 5-digit ZIPs, ISO dates, title-cased names.
• Pay per saved provider: filtered-out or duplicate NPIs are free; cap spend with Max providers.

Pricing

Pay per event: charged per saved provider. Records removed by filters are free. Use "Max providers" to cap spend.

FAQ

Does it include emails? The NPI Registry has no emails. Pair results with a website/contact finder if you need them.

How fresh is it? The NPI API is refreshed daily by CMS.

Why fewer results than expected? Check the run summary. If a ZIP-level query still hit 1,200 records, narrow by specialty or provider type.

Is this allowed? NPPES data is public information that CMS publishes for free download and API access. Follow privacy, TCPA/CAN-SPAM and other marketing laws when contacting providers. Issuance of an NPI does not mean a provider is licensed or credentialed (per CMS).
