They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## CMS Doctors & Clinicians Provider Leads Scraper API Search CMS's official public Doctors and Clinicians snapshot by NPI, provider name, specialty, geography, affiliation, graduation year, telehealth, and assignment indicators. Export source-linked provider-profile and public-practice evidence. ### Fast default ```json {"npi":"1235888272","maxCandidates":2,"maxResults":1} ```` The deterministic one-row first run costs at most **$0.0021** (`$0.0001` start + `$0.002` per item). `maxResults` is the total output cap; broad queries disclose the bounded `maxCandidates` scan. ```json {"specialty":"CARDIOLOGY","state":"TX","affiliationOnly":true,"maxCandidates":500,"maxResults":25} ``` Results include NPI, PAC/enrollment identifiers, names, credentials, specialties, public practice location/telephone, facility and organization fields, telehealth/assignment indicators, retrieval time, official source links, and bound disclosure. Outcomes are explicit for no match, invalid input, and source unavailability. ### Evidence boundaries CMS Doctors and Clinicians data is administrative/provider-profile snapshot evidenceโ€”not licensure, identity verification, employment confirmation, credentialing, board certification, sanctions clearance, live PECOS application state, claim-specific billing eligibility, a quality rating, or proof fields are current or complete. Blank fields do not prove absence. Confirm consequential decisions with the relevant authoritative source. See the [official CMS dataset](https://data.cms.gov/provider-data/dataset/mj5m-pzi6). # Actor input Schema ## `npi` (type: `string`): Exact 10-digit NPI. The deterministic default is 1235888272. ## `providerName` (type: `string`): Case-insensitive provider name filter. The last token narrows the API query; the complete value is checked locally within the bounded candidates. ## `specialty` (type: `string`): Case-insensitive CMS primary-specialty substring, such as CARDIOLOGY. ## `state` (type: `string`): Exact two-letter state or territory code. ## `city` (type: `string`): Exact CMS city/town value. ## `zipCode` (type: `string`): Five- or nine-digit ZIP prefix/value. ## `affiliationOnly` (type: `boolean`): Locally require a reported organization PAC ID or facility name. Blank does not prove no affiliation. ## `graduationYear` (type: `integer`): Exact source-reported medical-school graduation year. ## `telehealth` (type: `string`): Preserve and filter the source indicator without expanding its meaning. ## `individualAssignment` (type: `string`): CMS individual assignment indicator (Y/N/M where present). It is not claim-specific eligibility. ## `groupAssignment` (type: `string`): CMS group assignment indicator (Y/N/M where present). ## `offset` (type: `integer`): Starting row offset for a bounded source scan. ## `maxCandidates` (type: `integer`): Maximum API rows checked before local name/affiliation filtering and sorting. Output discloses when additional source rows exist. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Optional sort by filter or result-control setting. See the README for source semantics and examples. ## `sortDirection` (type: `string`): Optional sort direction filter or result-control setting. See the README for source semantics and examples. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Total output cap after all filtering and sorting. One record costs $0.002 plus the $0.0001 start. ## Actor input object example ```json { "npi": "1235888272", "affiliationOnly": false, "telehealth": "", "individualAssignment": "", "groupAssignment": "", "offset": 0, "maxCandidates": 2, "sortBy": "providerName", "sortDirection": "asc", "maxResults": 1 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "npi": "1235888272", "maxCandidates": 2, "maxResults": 1 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("pink_comic/cms-doctors-clinicians-provider-leads").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`๐Ÿ’พ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // ๐Ÿ“š Want to learn more ๐Ÿ“–? Go to โ†’ https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs ``` ## Python example ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient # Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token # Replace '' with your token. client = ApifyClient("") # Prepare the Actor input run_input = { "npi": "1235888272", "maxCandidates": 2, "maxResults": 1, } # Run the Actor and wait for it to finish run = client.actor("pink_comic/cms-doctors-clinicians-provider-leads").call(run_input=run_input) # Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any) print("๐Ÿ’พ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"]) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) # ๐Ÿ“š Want to learn more ๐Ÿ“–?
