US Healthcare Clinic Contact, Schema & Chain Detector (Apify Actor)

High-speed Python Async (httpx + BeautifulSoup4 + DNS/MX Verification) Apify Actor purpose-built for healthcare B2B sales teams, medical device manufacturers, dental/audiology wholesalers, SaaS SDRs, and healthcare recruiting agencies targeting genuinely independent US private practices.

Given any list of clinic URLs (from Google Maps scrapers, NPI registries, or CRM exports), this Actor extracts DNS/MX-verified emails, E.164 US phone numbers, 5-platform social links (FB, IG, LI, YT, X), Schema.org MedicalOrganization metadata, and automatically classifies every domain into Verified Independent, Chain Excluded, or Needs Review by screening against 38+ major US Dental DSOs, Audiology retail chains, Veterinary consolidators, and Private-Equity MSOs.

✨ Key Engineering Capabilities

• Automatic Corporate Chain / DSO / Franchise Screening: Identifies national DSOs, retail franchises, and private-equity MSOs (Aspen Dental, Heartland Dental, Pacific Dental Services, Miracle-Ear, Beltone, HearingLife, Banfield, VCA, BluePearl, The Joint Chiropractic, ATI PT, One Medical, MyEyeDr, franchise legal disclosures, and 15+ store-locator footprints).
• DNS / MX Deliverability Check: Strips telemetry/asset false positives (sentry.io, wixpress.com, .png, .webp) and performs async DNS MX + A resolution on every discovered email domain (mx_dns_valid_emails).
• Smart Internal Subpage Crawling: Automatically inspects /contact, /about, /our-practice, and /locations pages (up to 2 internal subpages per clinic) to maximize front-desk/owner contact capture.
• Schema.org Healthcare Entity Extraction: Parses MedicalOrganization, Dentist, Physician, VeterinaryCare, MedicalClinic, and LocalBusiness JSON-LD @graph blocks (address, medicalSpecialty, aggregateRating, parentOrganization).
• 256 MB Lightweight Execution: Pure async httpx architecture — zero headless Chromium bloat, enriching hundreds of clinics per minute for pennies.

🛠️ Integration with n8n, Make.com & Python

1. Python (apify-client)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("thanh81646/us-healthcare-clinic-contact-enricher").call(
    run_input={
        "startUrls": [
            {"url": "https://pacificaudiology.com/"},
            {"url": "https://brooklyndentalstudio.com/"},
        ],
        "excludeChainsFromOutput": True,
    }
)

for clinic in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(clinic["clinic_name"], "->", clinic["ownership_status"], clinic["mx_dns_valid_emails"])

2. n8n Workflow (Google Maps Scraper -> Clinic Chain Filter -> HubSpot / Lemlist)

1. Trigger a Google Maps or NPI directory scrape in n8n.
2. Pass extracted clinic website URLs to the Apify node running us-healthcare-clinic-contact-enricher with excludeChainsFromOutput: true.
3. Route only Verified Independent practices with mx_dns_valid_emails directly into HubSpot, Instantly, Smartlead, or Google Sheets!

3. Make.com Scenario

1. Watch new healthcare leads in Airtable / Google Sheets.
2. Call Apify -> Run an Actor (us-healthcare-clinic-contact-enricher) synchronously.
3. Update the lead status column with ownership_status, specialty_category, and mx_dns_valid_emails.
