🏥 NPI/NPPES Healthcare Provider Scraper

🚀 Collect healthcare provider data from the NPPES registry in minutes. Search by NPI number, name, specialty, city, state, or ZIP code. Export provider profiles, credentials, and contact info. No coding, no CMS account required.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-04-23 · 📊 30+ fields per provider · 🔍 10 search filters · 🏥 Individual + organization · 🚫 No auth required

The NPI/NPPES Healthcare Provider Scraper collects verified provider data from CMS's National Plan and Provider Enumeration System, returning 30+ fields per provider: NPI number, name, credentials, specialty taxonomy, practice address, mailing address, phone, fax, enumeration date, and organization details. Runs support up to 1,000,000 records on a paid plan.

The Actor queries the official NPPES API with 10 search filters: NPI number, first name, last name, city, state, ZIP code, taxonomy/specialty, and enumeration type (individual NPI-1 or organization NPI-2). Results come directly from CMS's public registry.

📋 What the NPI/NPPES Scraper does

Direct NPPES API queries with 10 filters:

• 🆔 NPI lookup. Search by exact 10-digit NPI number.
• 👤 Name search. First and last name for individual providers.
• 📍 Location filters. City, state (2-letter code), and ZIP code.
• 🏥 Specialty filter. Taxonomy description (e.g. "Family Medicine", "Cardiology").
• 🏢 Enumeration type. NPI-1 (individual) or NPI-2 (organization).

Each provider record includes NPI, name, credentials, gender, taxonomy codes, practice address, mailing address, phone, fax, enumeration date, last update, and authorized official info (for organizations).

💡 Why it matters: manually looking up providers on the NPPES website means searching one at a time. This Actor exports verified CMS registry data in bulk, ready for your credentialing workflows, provider directories, or compliance databases.
