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 ### What does USA Clinic Scraper do? This Actor searches [Yelp](https://www.yelp.com/) for clinic businesses in selected U.S. cities and specialties, then enriches each listing with contact details from the clinic website. It is built for lead generation workflows where you need **clinic name**, **phone**, **address**, **website**, **emails**, and **social profiles** in one dataset. You can run it directly on Apify and immediately connect outputs to API-based systems, schedules, webhooks, integrations, monitoring, and proxy rotation. If you are testing locally, run with `apify run`; for production automation, deploy with `apify push`. ### Why use USA Clinic Scraper? - Build targeted local outreach lists for healthcare marketing teams. - Find clinics with missing or outdated contact details and enrich records. - Track regional clinic coverage by specialty (for example, dermatology vs mental health). - Reduce manual research time by combining listing-page and website-level extraction. - Use one dataset output that can be consumed by sales ops, CRM imports, BI tools, and internal dashboards. ### How to use USA Clinic Scraper 1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and go to the **Input** tab. 2. Add one or more `cities` (for example, `"New York, NY"`). 3. Add one or more `specialties` (for example, `"dermatologist"`). 4. Set `maxPages` to control Yelp pagination depth per city/specialty combination. 5. Keep `maxRequestsPerCrawl` as a safety limit (or set `0` for no hard cap). 6. Configure `proxyConfiguration` (Apify Proxy is recommended for stable runs). 7. Click **Start** and wait for completion. 8. Open the **Output** tab and download or consume data via API. ### Input Configure everything in the Actor **Input** tab. ```json { "cities": ["New York, NY", "Los Angeles, CA"], "specialties": ["dermatologist", "mental health clinic"], "maxPages": 3, "maxRequestsPerCrawl": 500, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` Input field notes: - `cities` (array of strings, required): U.S. city/state search locations. Default is preloaded with one major city from each U.S. state (50 total). - `specialties` (array of strings, required): Yelp search keywords. - `maxPages` (integer): Number of Yelp pages to scan for each city/specialty pair. - `maxRequestsPerCrawl` (integer): Global request cap for run safety. - `proxyConfiguration` (object): Proxy settings for better reliability. ### Output Each dataset item represents one clinic record with Yelp listing data and optional website enrichment. ```json [ { "name": "Hudson Dermatology Center", "city": "New York, NY", "specialty": "dermatologist", "phone": "(212) 555-1111", "address": "123 Main St, New York, NY", "website": "https://hudsonderm.com", "emails": ["info@hudsonderm.com"], "ownerEmails": ["dr.jane@hudsonderm.com"], "facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/hudsonderm", "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/hudsonderm", "twitter": null, "linkedin": null, "facebookProfiles": ["https://www.facebook.com/hudsonderm"], "instagramProfiles": ["https://www.instagram.com/hudsonderm"], "twitterProfiles": [], "linkedinProfiles": [], "youtubeProfiles": [], "tiktokProfiles": [], "allSocialProfiles": [ "https://www.facebook.com/hudsonderm", "https://www.instagram.com/hudsonderm" ], "source": "https://hudsonderm.com/contact" }, { "name": "MindBridge Wellness Clinic", "city": "Los Angeles, CA", "specialty": "mental health clinic", "phone": "(310) 555-2222", "address": "456 Ocean Ave, Los Angeles, CA", "website": null, "emails": [], "ownerEmails": [], "facebook": null, "instagram": null, "twitter": null, "linkedin": null, "facebookProfiles": [], "instagramProfiles": [], "twitterProfiles": [], "linkedinProfiles": [], "youtubeProfiles": [], "tiktokProfiles": [], "allSocialProfiles": [], "source": "https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=mental%20health%20clinic" } ] ``` You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel. ### Data table | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `name` | string | Clinic business name | | `city` | string | City used in search | | `specialty` | string | Specialty keyword used | | `phone` | string/null | Phone parsed from listing | | `address` | string/null | Address parsed from listing | | `website` | string/null | Clinic website URL if found | | `emails` | array | Unique emails detected on website body | | `ownerEmails` | array | Likely owner/decision-maker emails (best-effort heuristic) | | `facebook` | string/null | First Facebook URL found | | `instagram` | string/null | First Instagram URL found | | `twitter` | string/null | First Twitter/X URL found | | `linkedin` | string/null | First LinkedIn URL found | | `facebookProfiles` | array | All discovered Facebook profile/page links | | `instagramProfiles` | array | All discovered Instagram profile links | | `twitterProfiles` | array | All discovered Twitter/X profile links | | `linkedinProfiles` | array | All discovered LinkedIn profile links | | `youtubeProfiles` | array | All discovered YouTube links | | `tiktokProfiles` | array | All discovered TikTok profile links | | `allSocialProfiles` | array | De-duplicated union of all social links found | | `source` | string | URL where enrichment data was captured | ### Pricing / Cost estimation How much does it cost to scrape Yelp clinic data? Cost depends mostly on: - Number of `cities` and `specialties` - `maxPages` value - Number of clinic websites visited for enrichment - Proxy usage and retries For small runs (single city, 1-2 specialties, low page depth), usage is typically low and often fits within free-tier experimentation. For larger lead-generation batches, start with smaller test runs, validate output quality, then scale gradually. ### Tips or Advanced options - Start with `maxPages: 1` to validate keyword quality before scaling. - Use precise specialty terms to reduce irrelevant businesses. - Keep `maxRequestsPerCrawl` enabled as a budget guardrail. - Schedule recurring runs (daily/weekly) to keep outreach data fresh. - If contact details are critical, keep proxy enabled and run during off-peak hours for better response stability. ### FAQ, disclaimers, and support #### Is scraping clinic data legal? This Actor is a technical tool. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws, website Terms of Service, and privacy requirements in your jurisdiction and target market. #### Why are some fields empty? Not all listings publish full contact data. Some clinics hide email addresses, do not link websites, or block automated requests. #### Does local `apify run` upload output to Apify Console? No. Local storage remains in the local `storage/` folder. To verify Cloud output in Console, deploy and run on Apify platform. #### Need help or customizations? Use the Actor **Issues** tab for bugs/feedback. For custom extraction logic, CRM mapping, or private deployments, you can request a tailored version. # Actor input Schema ## `cities` (type: `array`): City names to search in Yelp.
