Practo Doctor Scraper

Scrape doctor data from Practo.com — India's largest doctor-discovery and appointment platform — by specialty + city or by pasting listing / profile URLs. Returns clean, structured records: name, qualifications (degree + college + year), years of experience, consultation fee, recommendation %, review counts, clinic name + full address, geo-coordinates, services, and more. Optional one-click profile deep-enrich adds the full bio, every service, medical-council registrations, memberships, languages, awards, and work history.

HTTP-only (no headless browser), fast, and MCP-ready for AI agents.

Deep-enrich fields (when enrichDetails is on): about, specialistYears, registrationVerified, allServices (up to 80), procedures, registrations (number + council + year), memberships, languages, awards, experiences.

When to use it

• Healthcare lead generation — build targeted doctor/clinic lists by city and specialty.
• Medical recruiting — source specialists with verified qualifications and experience.
• Pharma & medical-device outreach — segment doctors by specialty, location, and patient volume.
• Market & competitive research — fee benchmarks, clinic density, specialty coverage by city.
• Directory / aggregator products — seed a doctor directory with structured, geo-tagged records.

Do not use this for patient personal data, booking automation, or any private/login-gated content — this actor only reads public doctor listing and profile pages.

Pricing

Event	Price

MCP / AI agents

Exposed in the Apify MCP server as apify--practo-doctor-scraper. Give an agent a specialty + city (or a Practo URL) and it returns structured doctor JSON — ideal for healthcare research and lead-gen agents. Add ?tools=khadinakbar/practo-doctor-scraper to your MCP client URL.

Why this scraper

• HTTP-only — no headless browser, so it's faster and cheaper than browser-automation alternatives.
• Richer data — qualifications with college + year, recommendation %, geo-coordinates, and a deep-enrich mode that returns council registrations, memberships, awards, and full work history.
• Two input modes — keyword search or direct URLs.
• Honest behavior — soft-fails on bad input, paginates automatically, respects your maxItems cap, and reports an upfront cost estimate.

Notes & reliability

Practo serves a challenge wall to datacenter IPs, so the actor uses Apify Residential proxies pinned to India (IN) by default. Keep this setting unless you have a proxy pool you know clears Practo. Practo occasionally A/B-tests its page markup; the actor extracts from the page's embedded application state with a structured-data (JSON-LD) fallback for resilience.

FAQ

Which cities and specialties are supported? Any city/specialty combination that exists on Practo (most Indian metros and tier-2 cities; dozens of specialties). If a combination has no doctors, the run finishes cleanly with an empty dataset.

How many doctors can I get per search? As many as Practo lists for that specialty + city, paginated automatically up to your maxItems.

Do I need login or cookies? No. Only public pages are read.

Can I get email/phone? Practo does not expose doctor emails/phones publicly, so those are not returned. You get clinic name, full address, geo, fee, and profile URL.

Is enrichDetails worth it? Use it when you need the full bio, complete service list, council registration numbers, memberships, languages, and awards. Skip it for fast, cheap listing-only pulls.
