## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability practo-doctor-search-scraper-e15c26f8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull me up to 100 dentist listings from Practo in Bangalore — I need each doctor's name, specialization, qualifications, experience, and profile URL, and make sure you include full profile details.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, paginated doctor data from Practo specifically — particularly for Indian healthcare markets. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when you need normalized fields like specialization, qualifications, and experience already extracted. Ideal for building healthcare directories, conducting market research on Indian medical professionals, or enriching datasets with Practo-sourced physician information.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set if Practo changes its HTML structure or blocks scraping — not charged
- Invalid or malformed searchUrl returns no results
- Practo rate-limiting or anti-bot measures may reduce result counts
- maxItems or maxPagesPerSearch limits may truncate results before full coverage
- Network timeouts on large paginated searches with includeProfileDetails enabled

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a count of doctors found and an array of items, each with doctorId, doctorName, specialization, qualifications, experience, practice, profileUrl, and the searchUrl it came from. Also includes a product field identifying the data source as 'practo'.
