Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay $0.003 per hospital returned, plus standard Apify platform usage, which is small because the Actor only calls lightweight APIs. You are never charged for results that are not returned. To cap spending, set a maximum cost per run in the run options.

Tips

• Start with a small max-results value to check your filters, then scale up.
• Schedule the Actor (for example daily) with a "since" date filter where available to get change alerts.
• The data comes straight from the official source, so its freshness and completeness depend on that publisher.
