Oladoc Doctors Scraper 🩺

What does Oladoc Doctors Scraper do?

Oladoc Doctors Scraper collects structured doctor directory data from Oladoc, Pakistan's healthcare platform. Search by specialty and city, or provide a public Oladoc listing URL, then export doctor profiles with qualifications, experience, ratings, consultation fees, availability, locations, services, and hospital information.

The Actor is useful for healthcare market research, doctor and clinic directory projects, provider discovery, appointment marketplace analysis, competitive research, and data enrichment. Each run saves unique doctor records to an Apify Dataset and removes empty values from the final output.

Why use Oladoc Doctors Scraper?

• Build doctor datasets - Collect consistent provider records for dashboards, directories, research, and internal databases.
• Search Pakistani healthcare markets - Focus on a specialty and city such as dermatology in Lahore or cardiology in Karachi.
• Compare provider information - Analyze qualifications, experience, ratings, review counts, fees, services, and availability.
• Understand appointment coverage - Identify hospitals, clinics, video consultation locations, booking availability, opening hours, and available days.
• Create cleaner downstream data - Duplicate doctor profiles are skipped by doctor ID, and empty strings, null values, and empty nested objects are omitted.
• Run repeatable workflows - Use Apify datasets, schedules, webhooks, API access, and exports for recurring research or monitoring.

Tips for Best Results

• Use Oladoc specialty and city slugs that match the public listing URL format.
• Start with results_wanted set to 20 to confirm the fields and geographic scope.
• Increase max_pages when the selected specialty and city contain more results.
• Use startUrl when you already have a specific public listing page.
• Keep collectDetails enabled for hospital, booking, service, and video consultation data.
• Set collectDetails to false when you only need lighter base doctor records. Hospital arrays are then omitted, but profile fields such as name, specialty, rating, fee, and URL remain available.
• Use proxy settings for longer collections or recurring schedules when additional connection reliability is needed.
• Treat missing phone numbers, fees, ratings, and hospital details as normal source-data variation. These values are included only when published.
• Review a small Dataset preview before scheduling larger runs.
