Tips for Best Results

Start With Working Listings

• Use valid specialty and city slugs.
• If you already have a listing page open, pass it via startUrl.

Keep Test Runs Small

• Start with results_wanted: 20 for quick validation.
• Increase result count once you confirm the output shape you need.

Use Proxies For Larger Runs

• Residential proxies improve reliability on longer runs.
• Keep pagination limits realistic to reduce retries and runtime.

Choose Detail Level Deliberately

• Leave collectDetails enabled when you need hospital arrays and service details.
• Disable it when you want lighter records and faster downstream processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scrape multiple pages?

Yes. The actor paginates through listing pages until it reaches your requested result count or the configured page limit.

What happens when startUrl is provided?

The actor uses that listing as the source and ignores specialty, city, and country for URL construction.

Does the dataset include hospital information?

Yes. When collectDetails is enabled, the output includes hospital, bookable hospital, video consultation, and merged hospital arrays when available.

Are empty fields kept in the output?

No. The actor removes null, empty, and duplicate values from records before saving them.

Can I collect doctors from other specialties?

Yes. Use any valid Oladoc specialty listing supported by the website.
