What it does

The actor searches the public Florida MQA (Medical Quality Assurance) health care practitioner license database, applies the filters you pass as input, and writes one normalized record per practitioner to the run's dataset. By default it opens each practitioner's full profile to add practice address, license dates, specialty certifications, email, staff privileges, Medicaid participation and other-state licenses. Missing source values are returned as null, and derived fields (specialtyCount, staffPrivilegeCount) are computed so you can sort and filter without extra parsing.

Coverage is Florida licensed health care practitioners across all boards: physicians (MD/DO), nurses, dentists, pharmacists, therapists and more. Two optional AI add-ons (withLeadScore, withProfileSummary) score each record as a B2B sales lead and write a factual English profile; both are billed per successfully processed record and require a paid Apify plan.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 3 Medical Doctors named Smith with full profiles and AI enrichment.

{
  "lastNames": ["Smith"],
  "profession": "1501",
  "withDetails": true,
  "maxProviders": 3
}

Every input field is optional but you must pass at least one filter (last name, profession, city, county, ZIP, license number or business name). Each value in lastNames runs a separate search and the results are merged up to maxProviders. Turn off withDetails for faster listing-only rows.

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~florida-mqa-health-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"lastNames":["Smith"],"profession":"1501","withDetails":true,"maxProviders":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~florida-mqa-health-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"profession":"1701","county":"23","maxProviders":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/florida-mqa-health-scraper \
  --input '{"licenseNumber":"ME122256"}'

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 practitioner record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• AI add-ons. withLeadScore and withProfileSummary are billed separately per successfully processed record and require a paid Apify plan. They are skipped for free users.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors or matches nothing, the actor writes a single item with an 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 practitioners per run. Upgrade for higher maxProviders.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records or an error item. Why? Either the filter combination matched nothing, or you passed no filter at all. Provide at least one filter (last name, profession, city, county, ZIP, license number or business name) and loosen it if needed. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Why are some fields null? Different professions expose different profile fields, and not every practitioner lists an email, specialty or staff privilege. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented. Listing-only rows (with withDetails off) will not have practice address or specialty.

How do I search a specific profession? Pass the profession code in profession (for example 1501 for Medical Doctor, 1701 for Registered Nurse), or use board for a whole board.

What do the AI fields do? withLeadScore scores each practitioner as a B2B sales lead with a temperature. withProfileSummary writes a short factual profile. Both are optional, billed per record, and require a paid plan.
