What does CMS Hospital Quality / Care Compare Scraper do?

CMS Hospital Quality Scraper queries the official CMS Provider Data Catalog Hospital General Information dataset (xubh-q36u) — Care Compare facility details, ownership, emergency services, birthing-friendly designation, and overall hospital star ratings for ~5,400 US hospitals.

This Actor does not scrape HTML. It calls the documented CMS datastore query API and returns clean JSON — no CMS login and no bulk CSV downloads.

Why use this Actor?

Use cases for health-systems analysts, payers, journalists, PE diligence, and AI agents:

  • Find hospitals in a state or city with a minimum overall star rating
  • Filter by hospital type, ownership, and emergency services
  • Export Care Compare facility rows to JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML
  • Schedule recurring pulls and integrate via the Apify API / Zyla CMS Healthcare Data API
