About practo-hospital-review-scrapper
Need to gather real patient feedback from Practo? I built this scraper specifically for that job. You give it the URL of a hospital's review page on Practo, and it handles the rest, pulling down the patient ratings and comments you need for analysis. It's straightforward—no complicated setup. One thing to note from my experience: Practo's pages can get slow after a while, so the actor is configured to reliably scrape up to 30 pages, which typically gets you around 310 reviews. That's more than enough data for most research projects. I've used the data it collects for everything from competitive analysis in the healthcare sector to populating internal dashboards that track brand reputation. It's a solid, single-purpose tool that does one thing well: turning a public Practo review page into a structured dataset you can actually work with in a spreadsheet or database.

An Apify Actor built on a production-ready template using PlaywrightCrawler and the stealth-focused Camoufox browser. It's designed for scraping data from websites that employ anti-bot measures, making it suitable for lead generation, SEO tools, and integrations.
Overview
This actor is a scraper specifically configured to handle sites that may block standard browsers. It uses the Crawlee library (the evolution of Apify SDK for scraping tasks) with Playwright, paired with a modified Firefox build designed to evade detection. Note that Camoufox may use more system resources than the default Chromium or Firefox browsers bundled with Playwright.
Key Features
- Stealth-Focused Scraping: Utilizes Camoufox, a fork of Firefox engineered to avoid fingerprinting and blocking.
- Modern Foundation: Built on the latest
PlaywrightCrawlerfrom the Crawlee library, ensuring access to current best practices for web scraping. - Apify Platform Ready: Fully configured for deployment, running, and scheduling on the Apify platform.
- Local Development Support: Can be easily pulled and developed locally using the Apify CLI.
