# Texas hospitals: CMS overall star ratings

**Use case:** 

Every Texas hospital in CMS's Hospital General Information file, one row per hospital: facility id, name, city, county, hospital type, ownership, emergency services, overall star rating where CMS publishes one, and, where CMS reports them, how many mortality, safety and readmission measures are worse than the national rate.

## Input

```json
{
  "dataset": "hospital_general_info",
  "state": "TX",
  "max_records": 1000,
  "request_interval_ms": 500,
  "contact_email": "info@steelyardclinical.com"

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [CMS Provider Data - hospitals, nursing homes, ratings (API)](https://apify.com/retrainmap/cms-provider-data.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/retrainmap/cms-provider-data.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## 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.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
