How this service works
Find a US hospital's machine-readable price files from its website domain. Reads the hospital's root cms-hpt.txt pointer and returns the location name, source page and machine-readable-file URL for each location, with the detected file format.
Output
A list of hospital locations, each with: the location name, the source page where the MRF link was found, the direct URL to the machine-readable file (MRF), and the detected file format (e.g. JSON, CSV, JSON.gz).
Example use cases
Hospital price transparency compliance check
“Look up the machine-readable price files for mayoclinic.org and tell me the file URLs and formats they're using for each location — I need to check if they're CMS compliant.”
Healthcare price comparison research
“I'm researching hospital pricing in the Northeast — can you find the machine-readable price file URLs for brighamandwomens.org and what format those files are in?”
Automated MRF URL classification
“I already have this MRF URL from a hospital and want to classify its file format directly: https://example-hospital.org/prices/mrf-2024.json.gz — can you tell me what type of file it is?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/price/discoverWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically locate CMS-mandated hospital price transparency files from a hospital's domain without manually browsing the hospital's website. It is specifically designed for the US hospital price transparency regulatory framework (cms-hpt.txt standard) and handles format detection automatically. Prefer this over general web scraping when you need structured MRF metadata across one or multiple hospital systems.
Side effects
- Hospital domain does not publish a cms-hpt.txt file — returns empty or error
- cms-hpt.txt exists but links are malformed or inaccessible
- Non-US or non-hospital domain provided — no meaningful results
- Provided mrf_url is unreachable or has an unrecognized format
- Domain resolves but hospital site blocks crawling or returns 403/404
