🏥 Healthgrades Doctor & Provider Scraper

🚀 Pull US doctor and healthcare provider data from Healthgrades in minutes. Profiles, ratings, reviews, specialties, certifications, locations, insurance. No login.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-09 · 📊 30+ fields per provider · 🩺 Specialty + location filters · 🚫 No auth required

Pull live healthcare-provider data from Healthgrades, the largest US doctor-finder platform. The actor accepts a search query (specialty, condition, or doctor name) plus a location, walks the result pages, and returns one structured record per provider ready for healthtech, recruiting, market analysis, or patient-experience research.

Every run fetches data live so you get the current state of Healthgrades at run time. Records include the provider name, photo, specialty, board certifications, education, practice locations, hospital affiliations, accepted insurance plans, patient rating, review count, conditions treated, procedures performed, awards, and a back-reference URL.

📋 What the Healthgrades Scraper does

• 🩺 Specialty/condition search. Search by specialty (cardiologist), condition, or doctor name.
• 📍 Location filter. City + state or ZIP code.
• 🔗 Direct URL. Pass a Healthgrades search URL for ad-hoc scraping.
• 🩺 Provider profile. Specialty, board certifications, education, hospital affiliations.
• ⭐ Patient ratings. Average rating and review count from patients.
• 🏥 Practice details. Practice locations, accepted insurance plans, conditions treated, procedures performed.

The scraper walks Healthgrades' results, optionally fetches each provider's full profile, and pushes structured records to the dataset.

💡 Why it matters: Healthgrades is the canonical US provider directory but its UI is paginated and lacks bulk export. A live, structured pull beats manual lookup for healthtech sales, recruiting, and market research.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Name	Description
startUrl	string	Start URL	Direct Healthgrades search URL. Overrides search and location.
maxItems	integer	Max Items	Free users: limited to 10 items (preview). Paid users: optional, max 1,000,000.
searchQuery	string	Search Query	Specialty, condition, or doctor name.
location	string	Location	City + state or ZIP code.
includeDetails	boolean	Include Full Details	When true, fetch each provider's full profile (slower but richer).
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy Configuration	US residential proxies required. Defaults to Apify pool.

Example 1. NYC cardiologists with full profile data.

{
  "searchQuery": "cardiologist",
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 50
}

Example 2. Miami dentists, list-view only.

{
  "searchQuery": "dentist",
  "location": "Miami, FL",
  "includeDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}

⚠️ Good to Know: Healthgrades blocks non-US traffic. Default residential proxies handle this. Turning off includeDetails makes runs much faster.
