## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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.

# README

## Healthcare Provider Leads — Doctors, Dentists & Clinics with Emails

Turn one search into a **ready-to-use list of US healthcare providers with verified contact data** — built on the official **NPPES / NPI Registry** (public CMS data) and enriched with **emails and extra phones** pulled live from each provider's website.

Type `specialty: dentist`, `city: Austin`, `state: TX` and get one consolidated row per provider: name, NPI, specialty, license number, practice address, phone, fax — plus the website, emails and social profiles when available.

No more buying stale medical lists or chaining a registry export with a separate email finder. This actor does both, merged, in one run.

### Who is this for?

- **Medical & dental marketing agencies** — selling websites, SEO, ads, reputation or patient-acquisition services to clinics and private practices.
- **B2B sales teams** selling to healthcare: SaaS (EHR/practice management), dental/medical suppliers, billing, staffing, insurance.
- **Healthcare recruiters** sourcing providers by specialty and location.

Every lead is anchored to an **NPI** — the official US provider identifier — so the name, specialty, license and practice address are accurate at the source, not guessed.

### What you get (one row per provider)

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `npi` | 1508009465 |
| `providerName` | About Smiles Dental Care |
| `providerType` | organization / individual |
| `specialty` | Dentist, General Practice |
| `credential` | D.D.S. |
| `licenseNumber` / `licenseState` | 16292 / TX |
| `fullAddress` | 2555 Western Trails Blvd, Suite 104, Austin, TX 78745 |
| `phone` | 512-444-5577 |
| `fax` | 512-444-2234 |
| `website` | https://aboutsmilesinaustin.com |
| `emailFound` | `true` |
| `email` / `emails` | front@practice.com (+ all emails found) |
| `websitePhones` | extra phones found on the site |
| `socialLinks` | `{ "facebook": "...", "instagram": "..." }` |
| `techStack` | `["WordPress", "Google Analytics"]` |
| `contactPageUrl`, `enumerationDate`, `lastUpdated`, `scrapedAt` | included |

Export to CSV, Excel, JSON or push straight into your CRM via the Apify API.

### How it works

1. **NPPES / NPI Registry** — queries the official CMS provider registry by specialty + location. Returns verified name, NPI, taxonomy/specialty, practice address, phone, fax and license. Specialty accepts plain words (`dentist`, `dermatologist`, `pediatrician`, `chiropractor`, `cardiologist`, `physical therapist`…) and maps them to the NPPES taxonomy automatically.
2. **Website + email enrichment** — for each provider, finds the practice website and checks its homepage, contact and about pages for emails, extra phones, social profiles and tech stack.
3. **One consolidated row** per provider with an `emailFound` flag so you can filter instantly. Set `onlyWithEmail: true` to keep only fully enriched leads (and not pay for the rest).

Set `enrichEmails: false` to return **NPPES data only** — still a verified-phone, addressed, specialty-tagged lead list, faster and cheaper.

### Pricing (pay per event — you only pay for what you get)

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Actor start (per GB of memory, 2 GB default) | $0.005 / GB |
| Provider delivered **without** email (NPPES data only) | $0.005 |
| Lead delivered **with** email | $0.02 |

**Cost examples:**

1. **Quick test** — dentists in Austin, 20 providers, 2 with email:
   start ~$0.01 + 18 × $0.005 + 2 × $0.02 = **~$0.14**
2. **One specialty, one city** — 100 dentists, 12 with email:
   start ~$0.01 + 88 × $0.005 + 12 × $0.02 = **~$0.69** for 100 verified providers
3. **State campaign** — 500 dermatologists, 60 with email:
   start ~$0.01 + 440 × $0.005 + 60 × $0.02 = **~$3.41** for 500 leads

Compare with $0.05–$0.25 per contact on healthcare lead databases — and this data is pulled fresh at run time from the **official registry**, not resold from a stale list.

### Why emails are not found for every provider

Most medical and dental practices hide contact emails behind web forms, so an email is found for a **meaningful minority** of providers (varies by specialty and area). That is by design and reflected in the pricing: providers without an email are delivered as **basic** rows at the lower rate — and they are still highly valuable, because the **phone, fax, full address, specialty and license come straight from NPPES** regardless of the website.

### Use with Claude, n8n, Make & Zapier

This actor is callable from any automation or AI agent via the Apify API and the **Apify MCP server** — connect it to **Claude** (Desktop/Code), **n8n**, **Make** or **Zapier** to pull healthcare leads on demand into your workflows (CRM enrichment, list building, agentic prospecting). One actor call returns a clean dataset you can map directly to your pipeline.

### Responsible use (compliance)

This actor collects **only publicly available information**:
- **NPPES / NPI Registry** data is published by the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as a **public dataset** for provider identification.
- Website data is limited to **business contact details that providers publish on their own public websites** to be reached by patients and partners.

No login-protected, private, or patient data is ever accessed. This is **B2B contact data for professional outreach**.

You are responsible for using the output in compliance with applicable laws in your jurisdiction (e.g. CAN-SPAM, TCPA, CASL, GDPR), including consent and opt-out rules for commercial outreach. Use the data to make relevant, professional contact — not to spam. Do not use it for any purpose that targets patients or relies on protected health information.

### FAQ

**Which countries?** NPPES covers **United States** providers. Search by US state, city or ZIP.

**Can I search a whole state?** Yes — leave `city` empty and set just `state` + `specialty`, raise `maxResults`. Pagination is handled automatically (200/request behind the scenes).

**What if no providers match?** The run succeeds with an empty dataset. Try a broader specialty (e.g. `dentist`) or a larger area. Registry/page errors are stored under `NPPES_FAILURES` in the key-value store — never mixed into your lead list.

**Is the data accurate?** The provider identity (name, NPI, specialty, license, practice address, phone) comes directly from the official registry, so it is as accurate as CMS records. Emails/websites are best-effort matches from public sites.

## `city` (type: `string`):

City to search in (e.g. 'Austin'). Combine with State for best targeting.
## `state` (type: `string`):

US state abbreviation (e.g. 'TX', 'CA', 'FL', 'NY').
## `postalCode` (type: `string`):

Narrow the search to a single ZIP code. Optional — use instead of or with city/state.
## `lastName` (type: `string`):

Search for a specific provider by last name. Optional.
## `firstName` (type: `string`):

## `onlyWithEmail` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, providers where no email was found are dropped (you are not charged for them). Useful when you only want fully enriched leads.
## `maxPagesPerSite` (type: `integer`):

How many pages to check per provider website when looking for emails (homepage, /contact, /about...).
## `includeGenericEmails` (type: `boolean`):

Include addresses like info@, hello@, contact@. Disable to keep only personal/role emails.
