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 ![ParseForge Banner](https://github.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/blob/ad35ccc13ddd068b9d6cba33f323962e39aed5b2/banner.jpg?raw=true) ## ๐Ÿฉบ Direct Primary Care (DPC) Mapper Scraper > ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿฉบ **Scrape every Direct Primary Care practice in the United States.** Pull **3,000+ DPC clinics** worth of data with **22 fields per record**.

From `mapper.dpcfrontier.com`, the DPC Frontier organization's authoritative open mapper. #### What's the difference between Pure and Hybrid? Pure DPC practices accept only direct membership fees (no insurance). Hybrid practices combine DPC membership with traditional insurance billing. #### Why are some practices marked Verified? DPC Frontier directly contacts and confirms practices flagged as Verified. Non-verified entries are user-submitted and may be outdated. #### How many providers per practice? Most have 1 to 3 providers. The largest hybrid groups have 10+. The actor returns the full list per practice. #### Are accepted insurance providers included? Pure DPC practices don't accept insurance by definition. Hybrid practices' insurance lists are not in the source data; only the DPC service flags are returned. *** ### ๐Ÿ”Œ Integrate with any app Connect this Actor to your stack via the [Apify integrations](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations) catalog: - ๐Ÿ“Š **Make / Zapier / n8n** - trigger scrapes from any business workflow. - ๐Ÿ’ฌ **Slack / Discord** - get a notification when a run finishes. - ๐Ÿ“ **Google Drive / Google Sheets** - push the dataset directly into a spreadsheet. - ๐Ÿ“จ **Gmail / Mailchimp / HubSpot** - automate outreach with the scraped leads. - ๐Ÿ”Œ **Apify CLI / SDK** - programmatic control from Python, Node.js, or any HTTP client. - โšก **Webhooks** - POST run results to any endpoint when complete. *** ### ๐Ÿ”— Recommended Actors - ๐Ÿ”ง [**NPI/NPPES Healthcare Provider**](https://apify.com/parseforge/npi-nppes-scraper) - ๐Ÿ”ง [**Healthgrades Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/healthgrades-scraper) - ๐Ÿ”ง [**CMS Nursing Home Ratings**](https://apify.com/parseforge/cms-nursing-home-ratings-scraper) - ๐Ÿ”ง [**Vitals Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/vitals-scraper) - ๐Ÿ”ง [**ClinicalTrials.gov**](https://apify.com/parseforge/clinicaltrials-gov-scraper) *** > **Disclaimer:** This Actor scrapes only publicly accessible data.
