Tips for Best Results

Start with Practical Limits

• Use results_wanted between 50 and 200 for faster completion.
• Increase gradually after validating output quality.
• Use max_pages to control run duration.

Improve Data Precision

• Use exact specialty terms relevant to your target market.
• Add locality to narrow search geography and improve lead quality.
• Use minExperience and minRating to filter noise.

Optimize for Speed

• Keep fetchDetails set to false for highest throughput.
• Run detail enrichment only when those extra fields are required.
• Avoid very high concurrency for long runs.

Improve Reliability

• Use residential proxies for larger extraction jobs.
• Prefer India proxy country for consistent access patterns.
• Schedule runs during lower-traffic windows for smoother execution.

Handle Missing Fields

• Some doctors may not expose every field publicly.
• Treat nullable fields as expected source variance.
• Use fallback logic in downstream pipelines for optional values.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many doctors can I collect in one run?

You can collect as many as available, controlled by results_wanted and max_pages. For stability and speed, start with moderate limits and scale up.

Can I target a specific neighborhood?

Yes. Use the locality input together with city and speciality to focus results on a specific area.

Why are some fields empty?

Not every profile exposes all data publicly. Optional fields such as summaries or program badges can be null for some records.

How do I get the fastest possible run?

Keep fetchDetails set to false, use practical page limits, and avoid unnecessary high concurrency.

Can I use this for recurring monitoring?

Yes. You can schedule runs to track changes in fees, ratings, and availability over time.

Is this suitable for lead generation?

Yes. The dataset includes profile, location, qualification, and practice-level fields that work well for segmentation and outreach.
