## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## New York Medicaid Provider Search - NPI, Phone & Address

Search the **New York State Medicaid Enrolled Provider Listing** from the NYS Department of Health on health.data.ny.gov (about 1.1 million provider/location records, updated weekly, 2.9M page views). Every doctor, nurse practitioner, therapist, dentist, pharmacy, clinic, home care agency and group practice that bills or orders under NY Medicaid is listed.

Each result includes:

- provider or practice name, **NPI** and NY **MMIS ID**
- profession or service type (physician, NP, PA, dentist, PT, clinic, pharmacy...)
- Medicaid type (FFS, OPRA ordering/referring-only, MCO)
- service address, city, ZIP, county and **phone**
- **enrollment begin date** (use it to find newly enrolled providers)
- latitude/longitude

Providers with several service locations appear once per location. Results are newest enrollment first. No API key, no CAPTCHA. Pricing: **$0.002 per provider + $0.0001 start**.

```json
{ "professions": ["NURSE PRACTITIONER"], "counties": ["MONROE"], "enrolledAfter": "2026-01-01", "maxResults": 500 }
```

```json
{ "npis": ["1184063844"] }
```

### Use cases

Healthcare sales and recruiting lead lists, medical billing and credentialing prospecting, network adequacy checks, verifying that a provider accepts NY Medicaid, and NPI enrichment.

### Limits

Point-in-time public data from NYS DOH. No email. The phone is the one on file with Medicaid and may be a billing number. Names are matched as substrings.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "query": "",

};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("pink_comic/new-york-medicaid-provider-search").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {

## MCP server setup

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
