NPI Registry Scraper — US Healthcare Provider Data & NPPES Leads (No API / No login)

Extract US healthcare provider data from the official NPPES NPI Registry — the National Provider Identifier database maintained by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Pull NPI number, provider first/last or organization name, credential (MD/DDS/RN), specialty/taxonomy, license number, full practice address, phone & fax across 8M+ doctors, dentists, pharmacies, clinics and hospitals in clean structured JSON. It reads the official government API, so the data is authoritative and never throttled by anti-bot walls. No browser, no API key, no login, no blocking.

🏆 Why this NPI Registry scraper?

25+ fields per provider · tens of thousands of records per run · direct authoritative government data (NPPES/CMS) · no proxy or bot-bypass needed · export to JSON / CSV / Excel. The unofficial NPPES NPI Registry API alternative for healthcare B2B lead-gen, provider directories, credentialing and medical sales.

✨ What this Actor does / Key features

• 🩺 8M+ US providers — doctors, dentists, nurse practitioners, pharmacies, clinics, hospitals and every other enrolled healthcare provider.
• 🗺️ State-level targeting — scrape any combination of the 50 US states + DC, or all of them by default.
• 🔬 Specialty / taxonomy filter — narrow by provider taxonomy (e.g. dentist, pharmacy, internal medicine, physical therapist, nurse practitioner).
• 👤 Individual vs. organization — filter NPI-1 (individual providers) or NPI-2 (organizations), or return both.
• 🏙️ City drill-down — add a city filter (e.g. Brooklyn) to build hyper-local provider lists within a state.
• 🆔 Credentialing data — NPI number, credential, license number, taxonomy code/group and active/deactivated status for verification.
• 📇 Contact & address — practice street address, city, state, ZIP, phone and fax for outreach and CRM enrichment.
• 🏢 Org authorized official — for NPI-2 organizations, capture the authorized official's name, title and phone.
• ⚡ Direct government API extraction — reads the official CMS/NPPES data source; no headless browser, no DOM scraping, no anti-bot wall.
• 🚫 No proxy required — the public registry is not IP-blocked, so runs are fast and stable without residential proxies.

🚀 Quick start (3 steps)

1. Configure — pick your states (or keep all 50 + DC), optionally set a taxonomyDescription (specialty), enumerationType and city.
2. Run — click Start. The Actor queries the NPPES registry state-by-state and streams provider records into your dataset.
3. Get your data — open the Output tab and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or pull it via the Apify API.

📥 Input

Nothing is strictly required — run it as-is to pull providers across all 50 states + DC, or narrow it with the filters below.

Example — dentists in NY, CA & TX (medical sales lead list)

{
  "states": ["NY", "CA", "TX"],
  "taxonomyDescription": "dentist",
  "enumerationType": "NPI-1",
  "city": "",
  "maxRecords": 10000
}

Example — pharmacies & clinics as organizations (NPI-2)

{
  "states": ["FL", "GA", "NC"],
  "taxonomyDescription": "pharmacy",
  "enumerationType": "NPI-2",
  "maxRecords": 5000
}

Example — hyper-local providers in one city

{
  "states": ["NY"],
  "taxonomyDescription": "internal medicine",
  "city": "Brooklyn",
  "maxRecords": 2000
}

Field	Type	Description
states	array	US state codes to scrape (e.g. NY, CA, TX). Defaults to all 50 states + DC. More states = more providers.
taxonomyDescription	string	Filter by provider specialty / taxonomy (e.g. dentist, pharmacy, internal medicine, nurse practitioner). Leave empty for all specialties.
enumerationType	string	Provider type: NPI-1 = individuals, NPI-2 = organizations, empty = both.
city	string	Optional city filter to narrow results (e.g. Brooklyn). Leave empty for the whole state.
maxRecords	integer	Maximum providers to save. 0 = all matching records (tens of thousands across all states).

Tip — targeting by specialty: the taxonomyDescription matches the NPPES taxonomy/specialty text, so plain terms like dentist, chiropractor, pharmacy or family medicine work well. Combine a specialty with a small set of states (and optionally a city) to build sharply targeted provider lists.
