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 ## Lybrate Doctor Directory Scraper Scrape doctor profiles from [Lybrate.com](https://www.lybrate.com), India's largest online healthcare directory. Extract structured data on doctor names, specialties, qualifications, clinic locations, consultation fees, ratings, and online availability — filtered by any combination of city and medical specialty. Lybrate indexes 200,000+ doctor profiles across 200+ Indian cities and 50+ medical specialties. This actor pulls data directly from the site's server-rendered JSON, so runs are fast, reliable, and require no proxy. ### Lybrate Scraper Output Fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `doctorName` | string | Full name with prefix (e.g. Dr Sunakshi Singh) | | `specialty` | string | Primary medical specialty (e.g. Dermatologist) | | `subspecialties` | array | Sub-specialties (e.g. Cosmetologist, Hair Transplant Surgeon) | | `qualification` | string | Degrees and qualifications (e.g. MD - Dermatology, MBBS) | | `experienceYears` | number | Years of medical practice | | `clinicName` | string | Primary clinic name | | `clinicAddress` | string | Clinic street address | | `city` | string | City where clinic is located | | `locality` | string | Neighborhood or locality within the city | | `consultationFee` | number | In-person consultation fee in INR | | `rating` | number | User ratings count on Lybrate | | `feedbackCount` | number | Number of patient reviews | | `patientsHelped` | number | Total patients helped on platform | | `services` | array | Medical services offered | | `profileUrl` | string | Full URL to the doctor's Lybrate profile | | `photoUrl` | string | Doctor profile photo URL | | `availableOnline` | boolean | Whether online consultation is available | | `onlineConsultationFee` | number | Online consultation fee in INR | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO timestamp of extraction | ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `city` | string | Yes | `delhi` | City slug as it appears in Lybrate URLs | | `specialty` | string | Yes | `dermatologist` | Specialty slug as it appears in Lybrate URLs | | `maxItems` | integer | No | `50` | Maximum number of doctor profiles to extract | #### How to Find City and Specialty Values City and specialty values come directly from Lybrate URLs. The format is: ```` https://www.lybrate.com/{city}/{specialty} ```` Browse to any listing page on Lybrate and copy the segments: - `https://www.lybrate.com/mumbai/cardiologist` → city: `mumbai`, specialty: `cardiologist` - `https://www.lybrate.com/bangalore/general-physician` → city: `bangalore`, specialty: `general-physician` **Common specialties:** `dermatologist`, `general-physician`, `cardiologist`, `gynaecologist`, `psychiatrist`, `neurologist`, `urologist`, `ophthalmologist`, `dentist`, `orthopedist` **Common cities:** `delhi`, `mumbai`, `bangalore`, `hyderabad`, `chennai`, `kolkata`, `pune`, `ahmedabad`, `jaipur`, `lucknow` ### Example Input ```json { "city": "delhi", "specialty": "dermatologist", "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### Example Output ```json { "doctorName": "Dr. S. K. Kashyap", "specialty": "Dermatologist", "subspecialties": ["Dermatologist/ Cosmetologist"], "qualification": "MD - Dermatology, MBBS", "experienceYears": 23, "clinicName": "Kashyap Skin Clinic", "clinicAddress": "Shop No. 5 & 6, First Floor, Manish Twin Plaza, Sector 4, Dwarka", "city": "Delhi", "locality": "Dwarka", "consultationFee": 600, "rating": 52, "feedbackCount": 4, "patientsHelped": 33, "services": [], "profileUrl": "https://www.lybrate.com/delhi/doctor/dr-s-k-kashyap-dermatologist", "photoUrl": "https://assets.lybrate.com/img/documents/doctor/dp/32b90f8b.../photo.jpg", "availableOnline": true, "onlineConsultationFee": 300, "scrapedAt": "2026-04-20T14:11:26.919Z" } ``` ### Use Cases - **Healthcare lead generation** — build contact lists of doctors by specialty and city for pharma reps, medical device vendors, or CME providers - **Market research** — analyze consultation fee distributions, specialty supply, and online consultation adoption across Indian cities - **Directory aggregation** — enrich your own healthcare platform or app with verified doctor profiles - **Competitive intelligence** — map competitor clinic networks or franchise footprints by locality - **Academic research** — study geographic distribution of medical specialists across India's urban centers ### Performance and Rate Limits - Extracts 10 doctor profiles per page request - Concurrency is capped at 5 requests to stay well within Lybrate's rate limits - A typical run of 50 doctors completes in well under a minute - No proxy required — Lybrate serves full SSR HTML to direct requests with no Cloudflare or CAPTCHA protection ### Pricing This actor uses pay-per-event (PPE) pricing. You pay per doctor profile extracted, not per run. Costs are billed through your Apify account and scale linearly with the number of records you collect. ### Frequently Asked Questions **How do I scrape Lybrate doctor data by city?** Set the `city` input to the city slug from Lybrate's URL (e.g. `delhi`, `mumbai`, `bangalore`). Set `specialty` to the relevant specialty slug. The actor will paginate through listing results and extract up to `maxItems` profiles. **What is the maximum number of doctors I can scrape from Lybrate?** Each city/specialty combination has a finite number of listed profiles. For example, Delhi dermatologists shows roughly 700 results. Set `maxItems` to any value up to the total available. The actor stops automatically when it reaches your limit or exhausts the listings. **Does this scraper require proxies to access Lybrate?** No. Lybrate does not use Cloudflare, CAPTCHAs, or other bot protection on listing pages. The actor runs on direct requests with no proxy configuration needed. **What data is NOT available from listing pages?** Listing pages include all fields in the output schema. Additional data available only on individual doctor profile pages — such as professional summary, awards, languages spoken, and detailed treatment lists — is not extracted by this actor. The listing data covers the primary use cases for lead generation and market research. **Is it legal to scrape Lybrate.com?** This actor collects only publicly available data from Lybrate listing pages. Lybrate's `robots.txt` allows crawling of `/{city}/{specialty}` listing URLs. Consult your legal team before using scraped data for commercial purposes. *** Need a custom feature or a scraper for another Indian healthcare platform?
