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 ## Healthcare Provider Lead Scraper Scrape dentist, doctor, clinic, and orthodontist leads from Google Maps. Returns name, address, phone, rating, reviews count, coordinates, and category for each provider. ### What it does Given a search query (e.g. "dentist", "orthodontist", "urgent care") and a location (e.g. "New York, NY"), the actor: 1. Opens Google Maps and searches for providers matching the query near the location 2. Scrolls the results panel to load up to `maxItems` listings 3. Extracts structured data from each result card 4. Returns one record per provider Google Maps is a fully client-rendered SPA — a real browser (Playwright + Chromium) with residential proxy is required to receive the hydrated search results. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchQuery` | string | Yes | Type of provider to search for (e.g. "dentist", "orthodontist", "pediatric dentist") | | `location` | string | Yes | City and state or ZIP code (e.g. "New York, NY", "90210") | | `maxItems` | integer | Yes | Maximum number of results to return (default: 10) | #### Example input ```json { "searchQuery": "dentist", "location": "New York, NY", "maxItems": 20 } ```` ### Output Each result is one dataset record: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `place_id` | string | Google Maps internal place CID (hex format) | | `name` | string | Business name | | `address` | string | Street address (parsed from listing card) | | `city` | string | City (not available from listing cards; enriched in future version) | | `state` | string | State (not available from listing cards; enriched in future version) | | `postal_code` | string | ZIP/postal code (not available from listing cards) | | `country` | string | Country code (default: "US") | | `phone` | string | Phone number (when shown in listing card) | | `website` | string | Website URL (not available from listing cards; planned for v0.2) | | `rating` | number | Average star rating (e.g. 4.9) | | `reviews_count` | integer | Total number of reviews | | `category` | string | Business category (e.g. "Dentist", "Orthodontist") | | `latitude` | number | Latitude from Google Maps URL | | `longitude` | number | Longitude from Google Maps URL | | `maps_url` | string | Direct Google Maps place URL | | `search_query` | string | The `searchQuery` input that produced this result | | `search_location` | string | The `location` input that produced this result | | `scraped_at` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of when the record was scraped | #### Example output record ```json { "place_id": "0x89c2598b826e5555:0x6d6e8f617e6f7d54", "name": "Park Slope Dental Associates", "address": "209 E 56th St 1st floor", "city": "", "state": "", "postal_code": "", "country": "US", "phone": "(212) 555-0100", "website": "", "rating": 4.9, "reviews_count": 312, "category": "Dentist", "latitude": 40.7589, "longitude": -73.9728, "maps_url": "https://www.google.com/maps/place/Park+Slope+Dental+Associates/...", "search_query": "dentist", "search_location": "New York, NY", "scraped_at": "2026-06-05T02:30:00.000Z" } ``` ### Notes - **Residential proxy is required.** Google Maps blocks datacenter IPs. Proxy cost is included in the actor's price. - **Google Maps shows up to ~20 organic results** per search query. For broader coverage, run multiple searches with specific neighborhoods or ZIP codes. - **Phone and website** are not consistently shown in listing cards. Phone is extracted when present; website enrichment is planned for a future version. - **Coordinates** (latitude, longitude) are extracted from the Maps place URL — no additional API calls required. - **`maxItems` caps results at the Google Maps listing limit** (~20). Set lower to reduce run time and cost. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Type of healthcare provider to search for (e.g. "dentist", "orthodontist", "doctor", "clinic").
