## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Who is it for

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which registers does it cover?**
All seven public professional registers under the Singapore Ministry of Health: the Singapore Medical Council (doctors), Singapore Nursing Board (nurses and midwives), Singapore Pharmacy Council (pharmacists), Singapore Dental Council (dentists and oral health therapists), the TCM Practitioners Board, the Allied Health Professions Council and the Optometrists and Opticians Board. Pick one register per run.
**Do I have to enter a name?**
Yes. The public register cannot be listed blank, so a search name is required. Enter a full or partial name (for example "tan" or "lee wei") and the scraper returns every matching professional. A common surname like "tan" returns thousands of doctors and nurses.
**How many results can I get?**
As many as the register returns for your search, capped by Max Items. The scraper pages through the full result set automatically, so a broad name can yield hundreds or thousands of records.
**What extra data does Fetch full details add?**
It opens each professional's record to add registration type and dates, practising certificate validity, qualifications with institution and year, practice status and place of practice. Turn it off for a faster run that returns only the name, registration number and register category.
**What happens if a professional has no qualifications or practice place listed?**
Some registers do not publish qualifications or a place of practice for every professional. Those fields are simply omitted from that record rather than returned empty, so every record stays clean.
