What it does

The actor searches the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) public physician register by last name (optionally narrowed by first name, city, discipline, practice type and active status), and writes one record per physician to the run's dataset. Each record carries the full name, registration number, membership status, practice disciplines and specialties, any conditions on the permit, qualifications, languages, gender, full practice address split into city, province and postal code, phone and fax, and the profile URL.

Three optional AI add-ons (paid Apify plans only) can enrich each physician: aiLeadScore with tier and rationale qualifies the physician as a B2B outreach lead, aiSummary writes a concise professional summary, and aiIndustry plus aiCategories classify the primary specialty and sub-specialty tags. Missing values are returned as null, never invented.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 30 physicians with the last name Smith.

{
  "lastNames": ["Smith"],
  "maxPhysicians": 30
}

Narrow with firstName, cities, discipline, practiceType or activeOnly. Every input field is optional; with an empty input the actor searches the prefilled last name.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~alberta-cpsa-physicians-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"lastNames":["Smith"],"cities":["Calgary"],"maxPhysicians":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~alberta-cpsa-physicians-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"lastNames":["Patel"],"discipline":"Family","activeOnly":true,"maxPhysicians":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/alberta-cpsa-physicians-scraper \
  --input '{"lastNames":["Chan"],"discipline":"Anesthesiology"}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per physician record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Add-ons billed separately. ai_lead_score, ai_profile_summary and ai_industry are each charged per physician only when the model returns usable output (paid Apify plans only).
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxPhysicians.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The last name matched no physicians under your filters. Try a more common name or remove the city/discipline filter. Zero-result runs are not charged.

How do I search a whole specialty? Pass a common last name and set discipline, or run several last names. The register is searched by name, so broad pulls use many lastNames.

Can I keep only active physicians? Yes. Set activeOnly to true.

Why are the AI fields null? The AI add-ons are off by default and require a paid Apify plan. Enable withLeadScore, withProfileSummary or withIndustry on a paid plan to populate them.

Is this an official CPSA tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. It reads only data that is publicly available in the CPSA physician register.
