Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## NPI Registry — US Healthcare Provider Lookup (CMS) Look up **US healthcare providers** from the official **CMS NPI Registry** — every doctor, dentist, therapist, pharmacy, hospital and clinic in the US has an NPI. Search by specialty, name, organization, city, or state and get clean, structured JSON: NPI, credentials, specialty, license, address, and phone. Built for **healthcare sales, recruiting, provider verification, and B2B data**. No API key. **Keywords:** NPI registry API, NPI lookup, healthcare provider data, doctor lookup, provider verification, healthcare sales leads, CMS NPI, medical provider directory. --- ### Why this actor The NPPES NPI Registry is the authoritative US directory of healthcare providers, with a free API — but it returns deeply nested records (taxonomies, multiple addresses, identifiers) and paginates with `skip`/`limit`. This actor flattens each provider into one clean record and handles paging for you. - **Search every US provider** — individuals (NPI-1) and organizations (NPI-2). - **Flexible filters** — specialty/taxonomy, state, city, ZIP (wildcards), organization, first/last name, or a direct NPI. - **Clean output** — NPI, type, name, credential, primary specialty, license, full location address, phone, status, enumeration date. - **No API key** — official CMS NPPES API. --- ### What you can build - **Healthcare sales & marketing** — build targeted provider lists by specialty + geography. - **Recruiting** — find providers by specialty and location. - **Provider verification / credentialing** — confirm an NPI, specialty, license, and active status. - **Network & market analysis** — map provider density by specialty across regions. - **Data enrichment** — resolve provider names to NPIs and structured records. --- ### Input At least one search field is required. | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `taxonomyDescription` | string | Specialty (e.g. `Dentist`, `Cardiology`, `Pharmacy`). | | `state` | string | 2-letter US state code. | | `city` | string | City name. | | `postalCode` | string | ZIP (wildcard ok, e.g. `902*`). | | `organizationName` | string | Org/practice name (wildcard ok). | | `firstName` / `lastName` | string | Individual provider name. | | `npiNumber` | string | Look up a specific 10-digit NPI. | | `maxResults` | integer | Max providers (registry caps a query at 1,200). | #### Example ```json { "taxonomyDescription": "Cardiology", "state": "NY", "city": "New York", "maxResults": 500 } ```` *** ### Output ```json { "npi": "1760813802", "type": "Organization", "name": "101 DENTAL GROUP", "credential": null, "status": "Active", "primary_specialty": "Dentist, General Practice", "taxonomy_code": "1223G0001X", "license": "54634", "license_state": "CA", "address": "7259 OWENSMOUTH AVE", "city": "CANOGA PARK", "state": "CA", "postal_code": "913031530", "phone": "818-999-9900", "enumeration_date": "2013-11-27", "scraped_at": "2026-06-12T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` A final `{"_type":"summary"}` record reports how many providers were returned. *** ### Pricing **First 25 providers free per account**, then **$0.003 per provider**. Zero charge on empty searches. No monthly rental, no API key. *** ### FAQ **Do I need a key?** No — the CMS NPI Registry API is fully open. **Individuals and organizations?** Both — NPI-1 (individuals) and NPI-2 (organizations), labeled in the `type` field. **How many results per search?** The registry caps a single query at 1,200 (paged). Narrow by city/specialty for larger universes. **Can I verify one NPI?** Yes — pass `npiNumber` for a direct lookup. # Actor input Schema ## `taxonomyDescription` (type: `string`): Provider specialty (e.g. Dentist, Cardiology, Physical Therapist, Pharmacy). Partial matches allowed. ## `state` (type: `string`): US state code (e.g. CA, NY, TX). ## `city` (type: `string`): City name. ## `postalCode` (type: `string`): ZIP code (supports wildcard, e.g. 902\*). ## `organizationName` (type: `string`): Organization/practice name (supports wildcard \*). ## `firstName` (type: `string`): Individual provider first name. ## `lastName` (type: `string`): Individual provider last name. ## `npiNumber` (type: `string`): Look up a specific 10-digit NPI directly. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum providers to return (NPI Registry caps a single query at 1,200). ## Actor input object example ```json { "taxonomyDescription": "Dentist", "state": "CA", "maxResults": 25 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
