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 ## Dentists Google Maps Scraper Scrape **dentists and dental practices** from Google Maps with deep enrichment for dental-vertical lead generation — emails, social media, specialties, payment options, **insurances accepted**, languages spoken, services list, review sentiment, online-booking detection, new-patient promos, metro classification, and DSO/practice-type categorization. 35+ fields per record. Pay-per-event pricing — pay only for the enrichments you turn on. ### What you get For every dentist / dental practice matched on Google Maps: #### Base data (always included) - Name, Google Maps category, sub-category tags - Full parsed address (street, city, state, country, postal code) - Latitude / longitude, place ID, direct Maps URL - Phone, website - Rating, review count, hours, is-open-now #### Optional enrichments | Toggle | Adds | |---|---| | **Extract emails** | Best contact email from the practice website. Scoring prefers `appointments@`, `scheduling@`, `frontdesk@`, `office@`, `info@`, `contact@`. Sentry / Wix / no-reply / placeholder addresses are filtered out. | | **Extract social media links** | Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X/Twitter — with widget-brand filtering (no Bolt, no copyright-year false positives, no `/p/` post URLs). | | **Dentist enrichment** | `specialties` (12 categories: general / ortho / oral surgeon / endo / perio / pediatric / cosmetic / implant / emergency / sedation / TMJ / prosthodontist), `paymentOptions` (insurance accepted / in-network / financing / CareCredit / Cherry / in-house plan / cash discount / free new patient exam), **`insurancesAccepted`** (Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, Humana, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Guardian, Principal, Anthem, GEHA, Ameritas, Sun Life, TRICARE, Medicaid, Medicare + 4 more), `languagesSpoken` (20+ languages with normalisation), `servicesOffered` (20 dental procedures — cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, implants, dentures, veneers, whitening, Invisalign, braces, periodontal, TMJ, sleep apnea, sedation, emergency, pediatric, cosmetic), `reviewSentiment` (keyword-based scoring with dental-tuned dictionary; themes: pain management, staff & bedside manner, wait time, cleanliness, value & billing, expertise, kid-friendliness). | | **Niche classification** | `hasOnlineBooking` + platform (NexHealth, Solutionreach, Weave, Yapi, Lighthouse 360, Demandforce, PatientPop, Zocdoc, Calendly, Acuity), `hasNewPatientPromo` + evidence + URL ("$99 new patient exam", "free X-rays", "complimentary consultation"), `isMetroArea` + `metroName` + `metroTier` (coordinate-based, 30+ global metros), `practiceType` (solo / group / **dso**) with `dsoChainName` (Aspen Dental, Heartland Dental, Pacific Dental Services, Smile Brands, Comfort Dental, Gentle Dental, Western Dental, and 12+ more chains). | ### Use cases - **Dental SaaS** — leads for practice-management / scheduling / payments software, segmented by what they're already using - **Insurance carriers / DPPOs** — find practices accepting (or not accepting) specific networks - **DSO acquirers** — flag independent practices vs corporate chains for M&A pipeline - **Dental supply distributors** — segment by practice type and size - **Marketing agencies** — bulk-enrich practice contact details for outbound - **Translation services** — find practices claiming specific patient languages - **CRM enrichment** — refresh existing dental rosters with current contact + insurance data ### Input ```json { "searchTerms": ["dentist", "orthodontist"], "locations": ["New York, USA"], "maxResults": 50, "minRating": 0, "enrichEmails": true, "enrichSocials": true, "enrichDentist": true, "enrichDentistNiche": true, "proxyConfig": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `searchTerms` | string\[] | `["dentist"]` | Search queries | | `locations` | string\[] | `["New York, USA"]` | Cities, regions, countries | | `maxResults` | int | `50` | Total practices across all searches (1–500) | | `minRating` | number | `0` | Filter places below this Google rating | | `enrichEmails` | bool | `false` | Visit practice website, extract best contact email | | `enrichSocials` | bool | `false` | Extract Instagram / Facebook / LinkedIn / X | | `enrichDentist` | bool | `false` | Specialties, payment options, insurances, languages, services, sentiment | | `enrichDentistNiche` | bool | `false` | Booking platform, new-patient promo, metro, DSO/practice type | | `proxyConfig` | object | `{ useApifyProxy: true }` | Residential recommended for high volume | ### Sample output ```json { "name": "Smile Studio NYC", "category": "Dentist", "specialties": ["General Dentist", "Cosmetic Dentist", "Implant Dentist"], "fullAddress": "120 W 45th St #2200, New York, NY 10036, United States", "city": "New York", "state": "NY", "latitude": 40.7560, "longitude": -73.9831, "phone": "+12125551234", "website": "https://smilestudionyc.com/", "email": "appointments@smilestudionyc.com", "instagram": "https://instagram.com/smilestudionyc", "paymentOptions": ["insurance_accepted", "in_network", "care_credit", "free_new_patient_exam"], "insurancesAccepted": ["Delta Dental", "Aetna", "Cigna", "MetLife", "UnitedHealthcare"], "languagesSpoken": ["Spanish", "Mandarin"], "servicesOffered": [ "Cleanings & Exams", "Fillings", "Crowns", "Root Canals", "Dental Implants", "Veneers", "Teeth Whitening", "Invisalign / Aligners", "Cosmetic Dentistry" ], "reviewSentiment": { "label": "Positive", "score": 92, "topThemes": ["painManagement", "staffAndBedside", "expertise"], "reviewsAnalysed": 10, "avgRating": 4.9 }, "hasOnlineBooking": true, "bookingPlatform": "nexhealth.com", "bookingUrl": "https://nexhealth.com/appointments/smilestudionyc", "hasNewPatientPromo": true, "newPatientPromoEvidence": "free new patient exam", "isMetroArea": true, "metroName": "New York Metro", "metroTier": 1, "practiceType": "solo", "practiceTypeLabel": "Solo Practitioner", "dsoChainName": null, "rating": 4.9, "reviewCount": 412 } ``` ### Pricing Pay-per-event: | Event | Triggers | Price | |---|---|---:| | `apify-actor-start` | Once per run | $0.00005 | | `apify-default-dataset-item` | Per result | $0.005 | | `email-enrichment` | Per result if `enrichEmails` true | $0.005 | | `social-enrichment` | Per result if `enrichSocials` true | $0.002 | | `dentist-enrichment` | Per result if `enrichDentist` true | $0.013 | | `niche-enrichment` | Per result if `enrichDentistNiche` true | $0.005 | Indicative totals: **$5 / 1000** base, **$30 / 1000** with all four enrichments enabled. ### Notes & limitations - Insurance / payment detection is keyword-based on the practice website. False negatives are common when the website doesn't list carriers explicitly. - DSO classification matches the most common North-American chains. Independents misclassified as "group" if the firm uses generic group naming. - Sentiment analysis is keyword-based (no LLM cost). Themes are coarse but useful for segmentation. - Google Maps occasionally widens searches beyond the location keyword — expect some adjacent-area results. # Actor input Schema ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Dental specialties / search queries (e.g. dentist, orthodontist, oral surgeon, pediatric dentist, cosmetic dentist, dental implants) ## `locations` (type: `array`): Cities, regions, or countries to search in (e.g. New York, USA or London, UK) ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of practices to scrape in total across all search term + location combinations ## `minRating` (type: `number`): Only include practices with this Google rating or above (0 = no filter) ## `enrichEmails` (type: `boolean`): Visit the practice website and extract the best contact email (homepage + /contact fallback).
