Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cover the whole United States?
Yes. The NPPES NPI Registry is the national US registry, so the actor reaches every individual provider and organization across all 50 states, the District of Columbia and US territories including Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. Filter by the two-letter state code to narrow results.

How many providers can one search return?
The official NPPES API caps a single search query at roughly 1200 matching records. For larger pulls, split your search into narrower queries, for example by adding a city, postal code or a specific taxonomy, and run them separately. Looking up exact NPI numbers has no such cap.

Can I search by medical specialty?
Yes. Use the Taxonomy / Specialty field with a description such as Dentist, Pharmacy, Internal Medicine or Chiropractor. You can combine it with a state, city or ZIP code, and restrict to individuals or organizations.

Can I look up specific providers by NPI?
Yes. Paste a list of 10-digit NPI numbers into the NPI Numbers field and the actor fetches each provider directly, ignoring the search filters. Invalid or missing NPIs are reported in the output rather than silently dropped.

What happens when a field has no value?
Fields that do not apply are returned as null and are never invented. Individual-only fields such as gender and credential are null for organizations, and organization-only fields such as authorized official are null for individuals.
