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 ## Doctolib Italy Scraper ![Banner](https://iili.io/C3XUvSt.png) Scrape complete doctor and practitioner profiles from **Doctolib.it** โ€” Italy's largest online appointment booking platform with over 200,000 registered healthcare professionals. Covers all 130+ medical specialties across every Italian city. No API key required. --- ### Why this scraper? #### ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Full Italian Coverage Access all 200,000+ doctors registered on Doctolib.it, from general practitioners to specialists across 130 medical disciplines. #### ๐Ÿฅ Rich Practice Data Each profile includes full practice address, GPS coordinates, phone number, floor, accessibility (elevator, handicap access), parking, and nearby public transport stations. #### ๐Ÿ“‹ Specialty & City Filtering Narrow results to any combination of specialty slug and city slug โ€” scrape only cardiologists in Rome, or all practitioners in Milan. #### ๐Ÿ’Š Insurance & Billing Details Captures regulation sector, insurance card acceptance, and third-party payer information where available. #### ๐Ÿ”„ Scheduled Run Support Built-in deduplication with a 90-day rolling cache โ€” run daily or weekly and collect only new registrations. #### โšก No Proxy Required Runs entirely on Apify's compute โ€” no residential proxy costs. The cheapest possible architecture for this data. --- ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `specialtySlug` | string | `""` | Specialty slug from Doctolib URL (e.g. `cardiologo`, `medico-di-medicina-generale`, `dermatologo-venereologo`). Empty = all specialties. | | `citySlug` | string | `""` | City slug from Doctolib URL (e.g. `roma`, `milano`, `napoli`, `torino`).

A separate actor handles `.fr`. *** ### Technical details - **Source:** doctolib.it โ€” Italy's leading online healthcare appointment platform - **Memory:** 512 MB - **Dedup storage:** KeyValueStore `doctolib-it-scraper-job-dedup`, 90-day TTL - **Retry:** Automatic retry on network errors, exponential backoff, 3 attempts per request *** ### Additional services Need a custom actor, additional filters, scheduled runs, or integration support?

Leave empty to scrape all specialties. ## `citySlug` (type: `string`): Filter by city slug as it appears in Doctolib URLs (e.g. 'roma', 'milano', 'napoli', 'torino'). Leave empty for all cities. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text filter applied to the doctor URL slug (specialty + city + name). Useful for broad searches. Ignored when specialtySlug or citySlug are set. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of doctor profiles to return. Use lower values for quick tests. ## `skipSeen` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, doctors already scraped in a previous run are skipped. Uses a 90-day rolling cache. Useful for scheduled daily/weekly runs. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Optional list of specific Doctolib.it doctor profile URLs to scrape directly (e.g. https://www.doctolib.it/cardiologo/roma/mario-rossi). Bypasses sitemap discovery. ## Actor input object example ```json { "specialtySlug": "", "citySlug": "", "searchQuery": "", "maxResults": 100, "skipSeen": false, "startUrls": [] } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
