Doximity Physician Directory Scraper

Doximity Physician Directory Scraper

Scrape Doximity physician profiles by specialty and state, up to a million per run. Each record returns the doctor's name, NPI, subspecialties, board certifications, and hospital affiliations. Optionally fetch full profile details including education, publications, and awards. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Doximity's physician directory is a primary source for verified clinician data, but manually searching and copying profiles is slow and does not scale. This Actor reads the public directory pages directly, letting you collect structured physician records filtered by medical specialty and US state. You get a clean dataset of provider information without writing any code or managing browser sessions.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your specialty and state combination is valid. Some specialties may have few or no listings in certain states. Try a broader filter or use a direct Doximity directory URL to verify the search works in a browser first.

The run is taking too long with full profile details enabled.

Fetching full profiles visits each physician's individual page, which multiplies the number of requests. Reduce the max items, or disable 'Include Full Profile Details' for a faster directory-level scrape.

I am getting rate-limited or seeing errors.

Lower the max concurrency to 1 or 2 and increase the request delay to 1000 ms or more. This slows the Actor down but reduces the chance of being blocked.

The Start URL is not working.

Make sure the URL is a valid Doximity directory page that starts with the Doximity domain. The URL should look like a search results or directory listing page, not an individual physician profile.

Some fields are empty in my output.

Not every physician profile on Doximity has all fields populated. If a doctor has not listed their publications or awards, those fields will be blank. This is expected behavior reflecting the source data.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Does this scraper require a Doximity login?	No. This Actor reads the public-facing Doximity physician directory pages. No account, login, or API key is needed.
What data fields does the scraper return?	The base output includes the physician's name, NPI number, specialty, subspecialties, board certifications, hospital affiliations, and location. When you enable full profile details, it also returns education, residency, fellowship, awards, publications, and professional memberships.
Can I scrape a specific list of doctors by URL?	Yes. Paste any Doximity directory URL into the Start URL field, and the Actor will scrape that exact page. This overrides the specialty and state filters.
How do I filter by both specialty and state?	Select a value from the Specialty dropdown and a state from the State dropdown. The Actor combines both to build the directory URL and returns only physicians matching both criteria.
Is it possible to scrape full profile details like education and publications?	Yes. Enable the 'Include Full Profile Details' checkbox. The Actor will visit each physician's individual profile page to extract education, training, certifications, awards, and publications. This takes longer per record.
How many physician profiles can I collect in one run?	You can set the maximum up to 1,000,000 providers. The actual number collected depends on how many physicians match your filters in the Doximity directory.
What export formats are supported?	You can export your dataset in CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML format from the Apify platform.
Will I get blocked for scraping too fast?	The Actor includes configurable request delay and concurrency settings. If you experience rate limiting, reduce the max concurrency and increase the request delay in the advanced options.
Can I run this scraper on a schedule?	Yes. Apify supports scheduled runs. You can configure the Actor to run daily, weekly, or monthly to track changes in the physician directory over time.
Does this Actor work for non-US physicians?	The Doximity directory is focused on US-based physicians. The state filter includes all 50 US states and the District of Columbia.
