Practo Doctors Scraper

What does Practo Doctors Scraper do?

Practo Doctors Scraper collects structured doctor and clinic listings from Practo. Enter a specialty and city, or provide a Practo listing URL. The Actor returns profile, qualification, consultation, rating, availability, practice, and location data that can be used for healthcare market research, provider discovery, lead generation, and coverage analysis.

Run a small test in Apify Console or collect larger datasets with result and page limits, scheduling, proxy settings, and dataset exports. Results work with JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, spreadsheets, dashboards, and data workflows.

How to scrape Practo doctor data

1. Open Practo Doctors Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter a specialty and city, or provide a single Practo listing URL in startUrl.
3. Set the result and page limits, and choose proxy settings if needed.
4. Run the Actor and review the dataset preview.
5. Download the results or connect the dataset to your application, spreadsheet, webhook, or automation workflow.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
speciality	String	No	"dermatologist"	Specialty to search, such as dermatologist, cardiologist, or dentist.
city	String	No	"bangalore"	City where the doctors should be searched. Omission uses Bangalore, not an all-India search.
results_wanted	Integer	No	50	Maximum number of unique doctor records to save.
max_pages	Integer	No	10	Maximum number of listing pages to process. The Actor may extend this within its operating limit when needed to reach the requested result count.
startUrl	String	No	-	A single Practo listing URL containing city and specialty. Takes precedence over speciality and city.
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	{"useApifyProxy": false}	Proxies are disabled by the schema default. Configure Apify Proxy or custom proxy URLs when needed.

These six fields are the current input schema. Specialty and city work together. With no search input, the default is dermatologists in Bangalore; providing only a specialty also uses Bangalore. Nationwide specialty search is not supported. The specialty's single prefill matches its runtime default, while result and page limits retain their own defaults.

startUrl takes precedence over specialty and city, including their defaults. A listing URL must contain both city and specialty. A locality already present in a supported URL can still narrow its search context; there is no separate locality input in the schema. A URL without locality uses a city-wide search. Clear the unused specialty prefill in Console when switching to URL mode.

For local development, run npm install, npm run lint, and npm start. Local runs read storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json, not the root INPUT.json. The local fixture requests 20 results with proxies disabled; it does not configure cloud or Store-test input. Results are saved in page batches.

Usage Examples

Basic specialty and city search

Collect up to 50 dermatologists from Bangalore using the default page limit.

{
  "speciality": "dermatologist",
  "city": "bangalore",
  "results_wanted": 50
}

Another specialty and city

Collect up to 75 cardiologists in Delhi.

{
  "speciality": "cardiologist",
  "city": "delhi",

}

{
  "speciality": "dentist",
  "city": "mumbai",

  "results_wanted": 100,
  "max_pages": 10
}

  "results_wanted": 50,
  "max_pages": 5
}

Tips for best results

• Use specialty names and city slugs that match Practo search pages.

• Start with 25 to 50 results and a modest page limit before scaling up.

• Compare experience and recommendation percentages in the exported results to identify providers that meet your criteria.

• Specify city when you want a location other than Bangalore.

• Use India-based residential proxy settings for larger or recurring runs when required.

• Check the dataset preview before scheduling a large run.

• Expect some optional fields to be empty because profiles publish different levels of information.

Integrations and export formats

• Google Sheets - Review and share provider records.
• Airtable - Maintain searchable doctor and clinic databases.
• Make or Zapier - Route records into CRM and workflow automations.
• Webhooks - Send completed-run events to your own systems.
• API access - Read datasets programmatically from your application or pipeline.
• JSON, CSV, Excel, and XML - Export for applications, analysis, and reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many doctors can I collect in one run?

The Actor saves up to results_wanted, subject to unique records available and its page limit. It may extend max_pages when needed to reach the requested result count. Start with a moderate target and increase it after checking the results.

Can I search a specific locality?

There is no standalone locality field in the current input schema. A supported listing URL supplied through startUrl can still contain locality context. The output location field continues to report the doctor's locality when available.

Can I provide a Practo search URL?

Yes. Use startUrl with a public Practo listing URL containing both city and specialty. The URL takes precedence over separate specialty and city inputs, and can include locality context.

Why are some fields empty?

Some fields depend on what Practo publishes for each doctor or practice. Empty optional values do not necessarily indicate a failed run.

Does a specialty-only search cover all India?

No. When city is omitted, the current default is Bangalore. Set a city explicitly or use a listing URL containing the city and specialty.

Are profile descriptions and images always included?

No. description and profileImage depend on what the listings publish and may be empty. The current input schema does not expose a profile-enrichment option.

Can I schedule recurring Practo data collection?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule to refresh provider, fee, rating, availability, and practice data.

Is this Actor suitable for lead generation?

Yes. Doctor, specialty, practice, location, qualification, fee, rating, and profile URL fields support provider research and business-to-business segmentation. Follow applicable privacy and outreach requirements.

Is it legal to collect Practo data?

You are responsible for complying with Practo's terms, privacy and data protection laws, and healthcare-related rules in your jurisdiction. Use the data responsibly and do not treat it as medical advice.
