US NPI Registry — Healthcare Provider Scraper 🩺

Search the official CMS NPPES registry of every US healthcare provider — by specialty, state, city or name — and get clean rows: NPI, name, specialty/taxonomy, license, practice address, phone and fax. No API key.

The NPPES NPI Registry is the U.S. government's authoritative directory of all HIPAA-covered healthcare providers — ~8 million individuals (doctors, dentists, nurses, therapists…) and organizations (hospitals, pharmacies, labs, clinics…), each with a unique National Provider Identifier (NPI). This Actor turns it into structured, ready-to-use rows.

Unlike map-based business scrapers, this is the licensed-provider registry itself — every record has an NPI, specialty taxonomy and (for many) a state license number.

Use cases

• Healthcare lead generation & marketing — targeted B2B lists by specialty and geography.
• Credentialing & provider-data management — verify NPI, license and taxonomy.
• Claims / RCM & directory apps — enrich or build provider directories.
• Research & analytics — provider supply by specialty and region.

Notes

• No API key. Uses the keyless official CMS NPPES API (v2.1).
• Wildcards: name and organization fields accept a trailing * (e.g. kaiser*).
• State needs a partner field. The API won't search on state alone — combine it with a specialty, city, name or ZIP.
• ~1,200 records per query. The public API caps results at 200/page and 1,000 skipped, so a single query returns at most ~1,200 providers. For large states, split by city or ZIP to page through everything.
• Data is public U.S. government information (NPPES), free to use.
