💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Physician payment (physician-payment)	$0.05	Per Open Payments record joined with NPI specialty + practice location

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.05 = $5.00 plus the start fee.

📊 What you get

Clean JSON, one record per record (full output has 47 fields):

• physician_npi — Physician npi
• physician_first_name — Physician first name
• physician_last_name — Physician last name
• physician_middle_name — Physician middle name
• physician_suffix — Physician suffix
• physician_op_specialty — Physician op specialty
• physician_primary_type — Physician primary type
• physician_license_state — Physician license state

Pricing: $0.05 per delivered record (Pay-Per-Event physician-payment) — about 20 records per $1. Records are charged only when they are delivered to the dataset; a run that returns no records charges nothing.

🔎 How to run it

Supply at least one selector — npi, physician_name or manufacturer_name. A run with no selector returns 0 records and charges nothing.

{
  "manufacturer_name": "Pfizer",
  "payment_category": "any",
  "max_records": 25
}

CMS publishes Open Payments once a year, so leaving date_from / date_to blank targets the most recent published program year rather than the last 12 calendar months.
