🏥 CNES Brazil Health Establishments Scraper

🚀 Export Brazil's CNES national registry of health establishments in seconds. Hospitals, clinics, managers, services, and bed counts.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-29 · 📊 11 fields per record · All 27 Brazilian states · 350,000+ establishments

The CNES Brazil Health Establishments Scraper turns the cnes.datasus.gov.br public registry into a structured dataset. It calls DataSUS's establishment lookup endpoint and returns one row per facility, including CNES code, official name, type, manager, address, services, and bed counts.

Coverage spans the entire Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde maintained by Brazil's Ministry of Health, with filters by state and municipality.

📋 What the CNES Brazil Health Establishments Scraper does

• Queries the public CNES services endpoint with optional state, city, and name filters.
• Flattens each establishment record into a clean row with normalized field names.
• Combines street, number, and neighborhood into a single address string.
• Casts bed counts to numbers for clean BI ingestion.
• Surfaces upstream errors as a single diagnostic row instead of crashing.

💡 Why it matters: CNES is the authoritative source on Brazil's 350,000+ health establishments, but its public viewer is a Java applet style page that's painful to scrape. This actor exposes the raw JSON directly.
