# Find CQC-registered care providers by name

**Use case:** 

Immediate filtered snapshot of the CQC provider directory: keeps only providers whose name contains your term (case-insensitive), applied before the cap and before billing — only matches are delivered and charged. Zero rows means no registered provider by that name today. Edit the term to the provider you are checking.

## Input

```json
{
  "maxRecords": 50,
  "fieldMatch": {
    "provider_name": "Bupa"
  }

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [CQC Care Provider Directory Scraper](https://apify.com/nexgenwatch/cqc-care-provider-directory.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/nexgenwatch/cqc-care-provider-directory.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
