No login, no cookies, no browser — fast HTML/JSON extraction with 99%+ reliability.

Why this Healthgrades scraper?

Most provider scrapers return a name, a rating and an address. This actor pulls the full record Healthgrades renders — including the embedded data the page ships to the browser — and outputs the richest provider dataset in the category:

Use cases

• Healthcare lead generation — build targeted lists of doctors, dentists and specialists by specialty + city for medical-device, pharma, healthtech/SaaS sales, staffing and recruiting. Score them by contactability and reach (leadScore, phone, acceptsNewPatients, reviewCount) and reach the practice directly.
• Provider directories & marketplaces — power a "find a doctor" product with structured profiles, ratings, specialties, locations and accepted insurance.
• Reputation & review monitoring — track a provider's or group's rating, review volume and new patient reviews over time.
• Market & network analysis — map provider density by specialty and geography, hospital affiliations, and insurance acceptance for payer/provider strategy.
• Recruiting & credentialing — filter by specialty, board certifications, languages, years in practice and location; verify with the NPI.

Input

{
    "searchQueries": ["Cardiology", "Dentistry"],
    "locations": ["New York, NY", "Austin, TX", "90210"],
    "maxProvidersPerSearch": 60,
    "maxProviders": 200,
    "acceptingNewPatientsOnly": true,
    "minRating": 4,
    "includeProviderDetails": true,
    "includeReviews": true,
    "maxReviewsPerProvider": 25,
    "enrichPracticeEmails": true,
    "deduplicateProviders": true
}

• searchQueries — a specialty (Dermatology, Pediatrics), a condition/procedure, or a doctor's name. Combined with every location.
• locations — City, ST (Chicago, IL) or a 5-digit ZIP. Each is paired with every search term.
• startUrls — Healthgrades provider profile URLs (/physician/…, /dentist/…) or search-result URLs (/usearch?what=…&where=…). Processed alongside searches.
• maxProvidersPerSearch / maxProviders — per-search and whole-run caps.
• acceptingNewPatientsOnly / minRating / gender / telehealthOnly — filters.
• includeProviderDetails (default true) — open each profile for education, board certifications, languages, accepted insurance, all locations + geo, fax, hospital affiliations, conditions and procedures.
• includeReviews (default false) — also output patient review records (type: "review").
• enrichPracticeEmails (default false) — when a practice website is found, crawl it (home + contact/about) for contact emails, phones and socials. Healthgrades never exposes emails — this is the only way to get them.
• deduplicateProviders (default true) — emit each provider once per run (keyed by NPI / profile URL).
• monitorMode (default false) — emit only providers not seen in previous runs.

One record per provider (type: "provider"), plus optional patient reviews (type: "review"):

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run it daily/weekly to watch a specialty or area for new providers; pair with Monitoring mode so each run returns only new doctors.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/healthgrades-scraper').call({
    searchQueries: ['Dermatology'],
    locations: ['Los Angeles, CA'],
    maxProviders: 200,
    acceptingNewPatientsOnly: true,
    enrichPracticeEmails: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} providers & reviews`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new provider leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get notified when a monitored search finds new providers.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find dermatologists in Los Angeles accepting new patients and list their practice phone numbers" and let it run this scraper for you.

Tips

• Exhaust a city: Healthgrades caps a single search at a few hundred results. Split by specialty and/or use multiple ZIPs/cities to cover a metro completely.
• Cost control: turn off Include provider details for a fast, cheap listing (the search results already carry NPI, specialty, rating, phone, address and patient-experience scores); turn it on for education, board certs, insurance and hospital affiliations.
• Email enrichment only runs for providers whose profile exposes a practice website, so you pay for it only when there's something to crawl.
• Recurring monitoring: combine Schedules with Monitoring mode to receive only newly listed providers in your target specialty/area.

FAQ

How do I scrape doctors for a specific city and specialty? Put the specialty in Search terms (e.g. Cardiology) and the place in Locations as City, ST or a ZIP (e.g. Miami, FL). Each term is combined with each location.

Do I need a Healthgrades or NPI API key? No. This actor reads public Healthgrades pages — no key, no login, no browser.

Where do the emails come from? Never from Healthgrades (it doesn't publish emails). With Enrich practice emails on, the actor visits the provider's own practice website and extracts publicly listed contact emails — the same thing a human visitor would see.

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

How do I monitor new providers automatically? Turn on Monitoring mode and create a Schedule; each run emits only providers not seen before. Add a webhook to push them into your CRM.

A field is null — why? Some providers genuinely don't publish education, languages, a website or a full review history. Fields are null only when the data doesn't exist, not because the scraper skipped them.

Is scraping Healthgrades legal? This actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (e.g. GDPR/CCPA for personal data, and TCPA/CAN-SPAM and HIPAA-adjacent rules for outreach) and Healthgrades' terms.
