## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
- **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).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## US Hospitals Scraper - Ratings, Ownership & Quality
> Build complete lists of US Medicare-certified hospitals with the CMS facility ID (CCN), full address and phone, hospital type, ownership, emergency-services flag, Birthing Friendly designation, overall 5-star rating, and mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient-experience and timely-and-effective-care measure results, plus each hospital's certified EHR ID and Promoting Interoperability status. Filter by state, city, ZIP, county, type, ownership, emergency services and rating and export clean structured data for KYB, sales, research and analytics.

Type, ownership & ER with 5-star rating
Quality measures & EHR mortality, safety, readmission
JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
### What you get
Each hospital record includes:
- **Identity**: CMS facility ID (CCN), name, full address, city, state, ZIP, county, phone
- **Profile**: hospital type, ownership type, emergency-services flag, Birthing Friendly designation
- **Rating**: overall 5-star rating
- **Quality measure groups**: for mortality, safety of care and readmission, how many measures were reported and how many were better, no different or worse than the national rate; plus the count of patient-experience and timely-and-effective-care measures
- **EHR**: certified EHR technology ID, Promoting Interoperability (meaningful use) status and the reporting period
- A Care Compare profile URL and the timestamp the record was read
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Sales and outreach | Medical device, pharma, staffing and SaaS teams targeting hospitals by type, ownership and location |
| KYB and market mapping | Analysts profiling hospital ownership and networks across states |
| Research and journalism | Teams comparing quality, safety and ratings across facilities |
| Data enrichment | Teams appending CCN, ratings, ownership and phone to existing hospital records |
### How to use it
1. Choose one or more **states** (and optionally **city**, **ZIP**, **county** or a **name** filter).
2. Narrow by **hospital type**, **ownership type**, **emergency services**, **Birthing Friendly** or an **overall star rating** range.
3. Keep **include EHR status** on if you want the meaningful-use fields, set **Max Hospitals To Scrape** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**No result, no charge?**
Correct. You are billed only per real hospital record returned. A run that matches nothing costs you nothing.
**What quality data is included?**
For each hospital you get the overall 5-star rating plus, for the mortality, safety of care and readmission measure groups, how many measures were reported and how many were better, no different or worse than the national benchmark, plus the count of patient-experience and timely-and-effective-care measures.
**Can I get only hospitals with an emergency room?**
Yes. Turn emergency services on to keep only hospitals with an ER, or off to keep only those without.
**Can I filter by rating or type?**
Yes. Set a minimum or maximum overall star rating and pick one or more hospital types or ownership types.
**How fresh is the data?**
Records are read live at run time, so each row reflects the source at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
