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 ## 🦷 Worldwide Dentist Scraper — Extract Dentist Leads with Emails Extract dentist listings worldwide from Google Maps with emails, phones, ratings, specialties, and full contact details.

Enter any country, state, city, or zip code in the `location` field. **How does email extraction work?**\ When `includeEmails` is enabled, the actor visits each dentist's website and extracts email addresses from the page content and mailto links. This takes longer but provides valuable contact data. **What if I get blocked?**\ The actor uses Apify Proxy with session rotation, random delays, and stealth settings. Use datacenter proxies first — residential proxies are available if needed. **Can I search for specific dental specialties?**\ Yes! Set `searchQuery` to "orthodontist", "pediatric dentist", "cosmetic dentist", etc. ### 📊 Tips for Best Results 1. **Start small** — Test with 20-50 results first, then scale up 2. **Use datacenter proxies** — Faster and cheaper; switch to residential only if blocked 3. **Be specific with location** — "Miami, FL" works better than just "Florida" 4. **Combine search terms** — Try "cosmetic dentist", "dental clinic", or "oral surgeon" 5. **Disable emails for speed** — Set `includeEmails: false` for faster runs when emails aren't needed # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): What to search for. Use this field when the user wants to find dentists by type or specialty, e.g., 'dentist', 'orthodontist', 'cosmetic dentist', 'dental implant', 'pediatric dentist'. Do NOT use this when the user provides a direct Google Maps URL — use startUrls instead. ## `location` (type: `string`): Where to search. Enter a country, state, city, or zip code. Examples: 'United States', 'Florida', 'Miami, FL', '33101', 'London, UK', 'Tokyo, Japan'. Combine with searchQuery to find specific dentist types in specific areas. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Direct Google Maps search URLs to scrape. Use this field when the user provides a specific Google Maps URL. Do NOT use this when the user describes a location or search term — use searchQuery and location instead. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of dentist listings to extract. Each listing counts as one result for billing. Lower values complete faster. ## `language` (type: `string`): Language code for Google Maps results (e.g., 'en' for English, 'es' for Spanish, 'fr' for French, 'de' for German, 'pt' for Portuguese, 'ja' for Japanese). ## `includeEmails` (type: `boolean`): Visit each dentist's website to extract email addresses. Increases accuracy but takes longer and uses more resources. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Select proxy to use for scraping. Datacenter proxies are recommended for Google Maps. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchQuery": "dentist", "location": "United States", "startUrls": [], "maxResults": 500, "language": "en", "includeEmails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Array of dentist listing objects with full contact details, ratings, and location data. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
