Practo Scraper — India Doctor List with Fees and Clinics

Practo scraper for building a doctor list from Practo by city and specialty: names, specialties, years of experience, qualifications, clinic, locality, consultation fee and patient recommendations. Use it for healthcare lead generation, provider market research and fee comparisons, and add public profile details for medical registrations, languages, awards and practice relationships.

What the Practo scraper collects

Use these records to compare the providers listed in a city, study consultation prices, organise a doctors directory or prepare a list of practices for further research. Each result represents a doctor at one particular practice. A doctor who appears at two clinics can therefore produce two rows. The doctor_id links those rows to the same practitioner, while place_id identifies the doctor and practice relationship.

India is the active market. Public pages for Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia may still contain archived records after Practo closed those markets. These rows have market_status: "archived" and a warning in the run output. Treat them as historical directory information: the doctor may have moved, the fee may have changed and appointments may no longer be available. Availability of archived records can change without notice.

This version collects doctors. Clinic names, addresses and practice information are included on those doctor rows. Separate clinic directory records are outside this version's coverage.

How to use the Practo scraper

1. Enter a city and a specialty as they appear in Practo's web addresses, for example bangalore and dermatologist, or paste a doctor search URL copied from Practo.
2. Set maxItems to the number of doctor rows you need.
3. Turn on details only when you need registrations, languages, awards or the full list of practices.
4. Start the run and download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read it through the Apify API.

Input

Provide city and specialty, using Practo's URL slugs, or supply one or more public doctor listing URLs in searchUrls. An optional locality narrows a city search to a neighbourhood. Listing URLs retain their query filters, so you can copy a filtered doctor search from Practo. Search URLs take precedence over city, specialty and locality.

This search was verified against public Practo records:

{"city":"bangalore","specialty":"dermatologist","maxItems":10,"details":false}

Set maxItems from 1 to 1000; it defaults to 50 and applies to the combined unique results across all supplied searches. Set details: true to request a matching public profile for each delivered doctor row. Without that option, the listing already supplies the doctor name, specialty, qualifications, experience, clinic, location, consultation fee and recommendation information.

Compatibility input names include speciality, startUrl, startUrls, enrichDetails and scrapeDetails. Use the canonical names for new integrations. When both names are supplied, the canonical value takes precedence. Unknown city or specialty slugs are reported as searches with no results; the actor does not guess a replacement city or correct spelling. A search in a country that Practo has discontinued without keeping its pages, such as Malaysia, ends with a not-found error straight away and is not charged.

Output

The default dataset holds one row per unique doctor and practice relationship. Core fields are name, place_id, url, fetched_at, category, categories, address, street, city, postal_code, country_code, lat, lng and reviews_count. The source is practo-scraper and the platform is practo.

Additional listing fields include doctor_id, practice_id, experience_years, qualifications, clinic_name, practice_type, locality, consultation_fee, currency, recommendation_percent, patients_count, services, timings, next_available_at and market_status. Monetary amounts are numeric and keep their source currency. A source fee of zero becomes null, because the page does not establish that consultation is free.

Practo's recommendation percentage uses a 0–100 scale. It is delivered as recommendation_percent; it is not converted to a doctor star rating. Aggregate search ratings and ratings for practices inside optional profile details have their own fields. Missing source values remain null where supported.

With details enabled, successfully read profiles add registrations, registration_verified, languages, memberships, awards, experiences, procedures, specialist_years_of_experience, practices and recommendation counters. details_fetched tells you whether the matching profile was parsed. If a profile fails, its listing row remains in the dataset, the detail charge is omitted and the run records a warning. Masked phone numbers and email addresses are excluded.

Practo doctor data example

This is the first row of a real run for dermatologists in Bangalore, collected on 5 October 2026. It is shortened for reading: the services list held 98 entries and two of the three qualifications are left out. The values are what the source showed on that date, not a promise about a future run.

Use cases for a Practo doctor list

• Healthcare lead generation. Build a list of clinics and hospitals per city and specialty for medical equipment, pharma, software or insurance sales, with clinic name, address and coordinates on every row.
• Market research. Count providers per specialty and locality, compare experience levels and see where a specialty is thin or crowded.
• Consultation fee benchmarks. Compare fees across neighbourhoods, practice types and experience bands in one city or across cities.
• Doctors database for India. Keep a dated directory of public profiles, and run the same searches again later to see who joined, moved or changed fees.
• Reputation tracking. Follow the recommendation percentage and patient story counts of a set of practices over time.

Practo scraper compared with other options

Several Practo actors already exist. Compared with them, this one makes these choices:

• No start fee and free empty runs. You pay for delivered doctor rows, and for profile details only when a profile was actually read. A search with no results costs nothing in data events.
• One row per doctor and practice. Doctors who work at several clinics are not merged into one address; doctor_id links their rows, and repeated rows are removed.
• Honest values. A missing fee stays empty instead of zero, and the recommendation percentage is not relabelled as a star rating.
• Archived markets are labelled. Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia rows are flagged as archived instead of being mixed with active Indian listings.

Copying data by hand from the website takes minutes per doctor and leaves you without the IDs needed to join later runs; a one-off custom script needs maintenance whenever the site changes.

Pricing

Billing uses two delivery events: doctor counts each delivered doctor/practice row, and doctor_details counts each delivered row with a successfully parsed matching profile. Details are optional. There is no start event, and searches that return no rows incur no data event charge. The current event rates are shown in the actor's Pricing tab; those rates govern your run.

Non-paying accounts can receive up to ten rows per run. The same limit covers profile delivery, so turning on details cannot charge more than ten successful detail events on a free run. The total number of rows can be lower when Practo has fewer matching results or a public page becomes unavailable.

Pagination and data quality

The actor follows continuation pages automatically and removes repeated place_id values. Practo can reorder results between requests, so its displayed total may exceed the unique rows collected. maxItems is a ceiling, not a guarantee. Keep the warnings and search summaries when comparing coverage across dates.

API responses include a next_cursor when further work remains. Direct API clients send it back as cursor with the same search and details options. The Apify actor handles that continuation for you. A partial result and its warnings explain interrupted work or unavailable details. Archived market warnings describe source status and do not imply that the records are active.

FAQ

Can I get doctor phone numbers or email addresses?

No. The doctor pages expose masked contact values rather than complete contact details. Those values are excluded from the dataset. Use the public profile URL to inspect the provider's current listing.

Does this collect every clinic separately?

This version returns doctor listings, including the clinic where each doctor practises. It does not create separate clinic directory rows. Optional profile practices give additional public practice relationships for the doctor.

Why is the recommendation percentage different from a rating?

The percentage measures patient recommendations on Practo and ranges from zero to one hundred. A star rating has another scale and meaning. Keeping these values separate preserves the information the source actually provides.

Why did I receive fewer results than requested?

The search may have fewer providers than your limit, public records can disappear and results can move between pages. The actor deduplicates doctor/practice IDs and reports source or profile failures in its warnings.

Are Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia listings current?

Those records are archived where Practo marks the market as closed. Their fees, practice details and availability may be outdated. Filter market_status to distinguish them from active Indian listings.

Which countries does the Practo scraper cover?

India is the active market. Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia return archived records where Practo still serves them. Practo sends searches for countries it has dropped entirely, such as Malaysia, back to its homepage; the actor reports those as not found without retrying, and they cost nothing.

Can I export the doctor list to Excel or CSV?

Yes. Every run stores its rows in an Apify dataset that you can download as CSV, Excel, JSON or HTML, or read through the API from your own tools.

Is it legal to scrape Practo?

The actor reads publicly visible listing and profile pages and leaves out masked contact values. Personal data rules such as India's data protection law can still apply to how you store and use the results; check them for your use case.
