You can scrape NPPES using EITHER a direct API URL OR search filters, but not both: Option 1: Direct URL Approach - startUrl - Direct NPPES API URL with query parameters (e.g., https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/api/?version=2.1&first_name=John&state=NY) - maxItems - Maximum number of providers to collect (up to 1,000,000). Leave empty for unlimited. Prefill value: 10. Option 2: Search Filters Approach - npi - Specific 10-digit NPI number to search for - firstName - Provider's first name (for individual providers) - lastName - Provider's last name (for individual providers) - Prefill: "Smith" - city - City name where provider is located - state - 2-letter state code (e.g., NY, CA, TX) - Prefill: "NY" - postalCode - 5 or 9 digit ZIP code - taxonomyDescription - Provider specialty/taxonomy description (e.g., "Family Medicine", "Cardiology") - enumerationType - Provider type: NPI-1 for Individual, NPI-2 for Organization - maxItems - Maximum number of providers to collect (Free users: Required, max 50. Paid users: Optional, max 1,000,000). Prefill value: 10. Important: You must choose either startUrl OR search filters - they cannot be used together. All search filters are optional and can be used in any combination. Here's what the input configuration looks like in JSON: json { "lastName": "Smith", "state": "NY", "maxItems": 10 } Or using a direct API URL: json { "startUrl": "https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/api/?version=2.1&last_name=Smith&state=NY", "maxItems": 10 } Or searching by specific NPI: json { "npi": "1366148975", "maxItems": 1 } ## Output After the Actor finishes its run, you'll get a dataset with the output.
