# Healthgrades Provider Scraper (`moving_beacon-owner1/healthgrades-provider-scraper`) Actor Healthgrades Provider Scraper is an Apify Actor that extracts healthcare provider data from Healthgrades search results, automatically following pagination and returning structured records with provider details, ratings, specialty, address, phone number, and profile URL. - **URL**: https://apify.com/moving\_beacon-owner1/healthgrades-provider-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Jamshaid Arif](https://apify.com/moving_beacon-owner1) (community) - **Categories:** Automation, Developer tools, Lead generation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $9.99 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Healthgrades Provider Scraper Scrapes provider data from Healthgrades search result pages (`/usearch`), following pagination automatically. For each provider card it extracts: | Field | Description | |---|---| | `page` | Result page the provider was found on | | `name` | Provider name | | `specialty` | Specialty (cleaned of the "Specialty:" prefix) | | `rating` | Rating score shown on the card | | `address` | Office address | | `distance` | Distance from the search location (e.g. `6.3 mi`) | | `phone` | Office phone number | | `telehealth` | Whether the telehealth attribute is shown | | `accepts_new` | Whether the "accepts new patients" attribute is shown | | `profile_url` | Full URL of the provider's profile page | ### Input - **searchUrl** (required) — a Healthgrades `/usearch` URL. Build your search on healthgrades.com and copy the URL. - **startPage** — page to begin at (default `1`). - **maxPages** — number of pages to scrape from the start page; empty scrapes all remaining pages. E.g. `startPage: 3, maxPages: 4` scrapes pages 3–6. - **fetchPhones** — visit profile pages for providers whose phone wasn't found (slower; one extra page load each). - **delaySecs** — polite pause between page loads (default `1`). - **proxyConfiguration** — residential proxies are strongly recommended; Healthgrades tends to block datacenter IPs with CAPTCHA / Access Denied pages. ### Output Each provider is pushed to the default dataset as it is scraped, so you can export results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the run's Dataset tab even mid-run. When `fetchPhones` is on, providers awaiting enrichment are pushed after their profile page is visited. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrl` (type: `string`): A Healthgrades /usearch results URL. Build your search on healthgrades.com, then copy the URL from the address bar. ## `startPage` (type: `integer`): Result page number to begin scraping at. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): How many pages to scrape from the start page. Leave empty to scrape all remaining pages. ## `fetchPhones` (type: `boolean`): If a provider's phone isn't found on the results page, visit their profile page to get it. One extra page load per provider — slower. ## `delaySecs` (type: `integer`): Polite pause between page navigations. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy to use. Residential proxies are strongly recommended — Healthgrades blocks datacenter IPs. ## `headless` (type: `boolean`): Keep enabled on the Apify platform. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrl": "https://www.healthgrades.com/usearch?entityCode=PS809&searchType=PracticingSpecialty&what=Psychology&pt=39.513450%2C-76.496300&state=MD&where=Baldwin%2C+MD+21013&zip=21013", "startPage": 1, "fetchPhones": false, "delaySecs": 1, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyCountry": "US" }, "headless": true } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
