DocFinder.at Scraper

What does DocFinder.at Scraper do?

DocFinder.at Scraper turns DocFinder.at — Austria's largest doctor directory — into structured data. Paste a search URL such as https://www.docfinder.at/suche/zahnarzt/wien and export every physician on the results pages: name, specialty, address, phone, profile photo, and reputation scores.

Patient reviews are an optional add-on. Leave reviews off for a fast, cheap directory export, or switch them on to pull the full review history into a separate dataset.

No login, no cookies, no manual copy-paste. Results come back as JSON, CSV, Excel, or through the Apify API.

What can you use it for?

• Build a lead list of Austrian physicians by specialty and city for medtech or pharma sales
• Compile practice directories for insurance, clinic groups, or health portals
• Monitor competitor practices in your catchment area and track rating changes over time
• Enrich an existing CRM with phone numbers and verified addresses
• Research patient sentiment for a specialty before opening a new practice
• Feed healthcare market analyses with rating distributions per district
• Power appointment or referral apps that need a physician catalogue
• Track reputation for your own practice and spot new negative reviews early
• Generate content datasets for health comparison sites
• Benchmark wait times and service scores across Vienna districts

How to scrape DocFinder.at

1. Open a DocFinder search, e.g. https://www.docfinder.at/suche/zahnarzt/wien
2. Paste the URL into Start URLs
3. Set Maximum items to the number of physician profiles you need
4. Optionally set Maximum reviews per physician above 0 to also export reviews
5. Run the Actor and download the dataset

The Actor follows search pagination automatically and stops as soon as maxItems profiles are collected for each start URL.

Input

Reviews land in the separate reviews dataset and include the review title, body, star rating, date, author label, and DocFinder's detailed care scores (empathy, trust, treatment satisfaction, facilities, staff, waiting times).

FAQ

Do I need an account or password? No. The Actor only reads publicly visible pages.

Can I scrape a single doctor? Yes — paste the profile URL instead of a search URL.

Why are some reviewer names generic? DocFinder publishes most reviews pseudonymously, so the author appears as a generic DocFinder user label.

How do I keep runs cheap? Leave maxReviewsPerBusiness at 0. Review pages are the expensive part; profiles alone are one request each.
