## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

## 🏥 Healthgrades Doctor & Provider Scraper

> 🚀 **Pull US doctor and healthcare provider data from Healthgrades in minutes.** Profiles, ratings, reviews, specialties, certifications, locations, insurance. No login.

> 🕒 **Last updated:** 2026-05-09 · **📊 30+ fields** per provider · **🩺 Specialty + location filters** · **🚫 No auth** required

Pull live healthcare-provider data from Healthgrades, the largest US doctor-finder platform. The actor accepts a search query (specialty, condition, or doctor name) plus a location, walks the result pages, and returns one structured record per provider ready for healthtech, recruiting, market analysis, or patient-experience research.

Every run fetches data live so you get the current state of Healthgrades at run time. Records include the provider name, photo, specialty, board certifications, education, practice locations, hospital affiliations, accepted insurance plans, patient rating, review count, conditions treated, procedures performed, awards, and a back-reference URL.

| 👥 Built for | 🎯 Primary use cases |
|---|---|
| Healthtech and SaaS sales | Source provider prospects for healthtech outreach |
| Healthcare recruiting | Find specialists by condition and location |
| Insurance and benefits | Validate provider networks |
| Market researchers | Map specialty density by region |
| Lead-gen and CRM | Build provider contact lists |
| Hospital systems | Track competitor hires and ratings |

---

### 📋 What the Healthgrades Scraper does

- 🩺 **Specialty/condition search.** Search by specialty (cardiologist), condition, or doctor name.
- 📍 **Location filter.** City + state or ZIP code.
- 🔗 **Direct URL.** Pass a Healthgrades search URL for ad-hoc scraping.
- 🩺 **Provider profile.** Specialty, board certifications, education, hospital affiliations.
- ⭐ **Patient ratings.** Average rating and review count from patients.
- 🏥 **Practice details.** Practice locations, accepted insurance plans, conditions treated, procedures performed.

The scraper walks Healthgrades' results, optionally fetches each provider's full profile, and pushes structured records to the dataset.

> 💡 **Why it matters:** Healthgrades is the canonical US provider directory but its UI is paginated and lacks bulk export. A live, structured pull beats manual lookup for healthtech sales, recruiting, and market research.

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| startUrl | string | Start URL | Direct Healthgrades search URL. Overrides search and location. |
| maxItems | integer | Max Items | Free users: limited to 10 items (preview). Paid users: optional, max 1,000,000. |
| searchQuery | string | Search Query | Specialty, condition, or doctor name. |
| location | string | Location | City + state or ZIP code. |
| includeDetails | boolean | Include Full Details | When true, fetch each provider's full profile (slower but richer). |
| proxyConfiguration | object | Proxy Configuration | US residential proxies required. Defaults to Apify pool. |

Example 1. NYC cardiologists with full profile data.

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "cardiologist",
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 50
}
````

Example 2. Miami dentists, list-view only.

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "dentist",
  "location": "Miami, FL",
  "includeDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

> ⚠️ **Good to Know:** Healthgrades blocks non-US traffic. Default residential proxies handle this. Turning off includeDetails makes runs much faster.

***

### 📊 Output

The dataset returns one structured record per provider. Each record carries identifiers, name, photo, specialty, ratings, certifications, education, practice locations, insurance, and a back-reference URL. Consume the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS via the Apify console or API.
