🔬 HPO Phenotype Scraper

🚀 Export Human Phenotype Ontology data in seconds. Structured records ready for spreadsheet, database, and BI tooling.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-05 · 📊 12 fields per record · Public data · Real-time fetch

The HPO Phenotype Scraper turns the public Human Phenotype Ontology endpoint into a clean, structured dataset. It calls the upstream API, parses the response, and flattens each record into one row, ready for downstream tooling.

🎯 Target Audience💡 Primary Use Cases
📊 Analysts and researchersBuild clean datasets from public Human Phenotype Ontology data.
🏢 Operations teamsMonitor key indicators on a schedule.
🤖 ML engineersConstruct training and evaluation sets.
📰 JournalistsVerify figures and pull sources with one click.
👩‍💻 DevelopersMirror upstream data into your warehouse without writing client code.

📋 What the HPO Phenotype Scraper does

  • Calls the public Human Phenotype Ontology endpoint with the filters you supply.
  • Parses the response and normalizes each record.
  • Casts numeric fields where possible so the data drops cleanly into BI tools.
  • Surfaces upstream errors and rate limits as a single record with the error field set.
  • Exports to any downstream format supported by Apify.

💡 Why it matters. Public data is great, but raw API responses rarely map cleanly to a spreadsheet. This actor handles the plumbing so you can focus on analysis.
