Healthprofs Scraper

Healthprofs (healthprofs.com) is a US directory of health professionals. This actor collects structured professional profile data from Healthprofs listing pages.

Introduction

The Healthprofs scraper starts from listing URLs, goes through result pages, and extracts structured profile data such as name, profile type, locations, education, credentials, profile attributes, appointment availability, and more.

Use Cases

• Lead generation: Build structured lists of health professionals in selected specialties and locations.
• Market research: Analyze practitioner coverage, profile distribution, and specialization patterns by city or region.
• Directory monitoring: Track changes in profile information, credentials, and profile availability over time.
• Analytics pipelines: Feed BI tools, CRMs, and enrichment workflows with normalized profile records.

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, required): Healthprofs listing URLs.
• maxItems (integer, optional): Maximum number of profile items to extract per start URL.
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Apify proxy settings.

Notes:

• The actor is designed for Healthprofs listing/search result pages, for example category and location pages.
• Pagination is handled automatically across listing pages.
• Crawling stops per source URL when maxItems is reached.
