UK Chiropractor Register Scraper: 12 Data Fields per Record (2026)

Each record carries 12 output fields, including practice contact details, qualifications, registration status, and published fitness-to-practise history from the General Chiropractic Council (GCC). Extracting 1,000 results costs $5.00 on the free plan, which includes $5.00 of monthly platform usage to run initial batches without entering a credit card. Built for compliance teams, healthcare directories, and researchers needing verified practitioner credentials. Not for users seeking unlisted personal contact details or practitioners outside official GCC public records.

Try it: open UK Chiropractor Register Scraper on Apify, sign in on the free plan and run the prefilled example.

Can you try UK Chiropractor Register Scraper before paying?

Yes. Apify's free plan includes $5.00 of prepaid usage every month and asks for no credit card. At $0.005 per result, that covers up to 1,000 results of UK Chiropractor Register Scraper a month, before run-start charges and platform usage.

The example request further down caps maxItems at 50, so a first run returns at most 50 results and costs at most $0.25 in result charges. That is enough to see the real shape of the data before deciding anything.

UK Chiropractor Register Scraper was last updated on 2026-08-07. It is one of 1,725 Actors CrawlerBros publishes on Apify, which together have 686,269 lifetime public runs and an average rating of 4.63 out of 5 across 416 reviews.

What does it cost to run UK Chiropractor Register Scraper?

Each result costs $0.005 on Apify's free plan, which is $5.00 per 1,000 results. Starting a run is charged separately at $0.005 per GB of Actor memory. Apify also bills the platform usage each run consumes, at the rates of your Apify plan, on top of these charges.

The maxItems setting directly controls the result charges by capping how many dataset items a run writes. Narrow filters like exact registration numbers or specific postcodes keep dataset output predictable and low. Setting a small maxItems value on your initial run is the best way to verify schema fit before launching full extractions.

How do you run UK Chiropractor Register Scraper from the API?

The schema marks 1 of its 13 controls as required: mode. Nothing in the payload below is illustrative. Those are the schema's prefilled defaults for UK Chiropractor Register Scraper, so the request works once your token is in place.

Call the synchronous endpoint to start a run and receive dataset items in one request:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crawlerbros~uk-chiropractor-register-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"search","name":"Smith","registrationNumbers":["01913"],"maxItems":50}'

The same run from Python, using the official client:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")

run_input = {
  "mode": "search",
  "name": "Smith",
  "registrationNumbers": [
    "01913"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50
}

run = client.actor("crawlerbros~uk-chiropractor-register-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

And from Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' })

const input = {
  "mode": "search",
  "name": "Smith",
  "registrationNumbers": [
    "01913"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50
}

const run = await client.actor('crawlerbros~uk-chiropractor-register-scraper').call(input)
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems()
console.log(items)

Because the call is synchronous, your client waits for the whole run. Keep it for exploration. For scheduled work, start the run without waiting and collect the dataset afterwards, so network trouble costs you a retry rather than the results.

Which UK Chiropractor Register Scraper inputs matter, and which can you skip?

The mode control specifies whether to execute a location and name query or a direct lookup, requiring registrationNumbers when set to byRegistrationNumber. Search controls like postcode, city, and region narrow results efficiently. On initial runs, leave post-processing filters like qualificationContains blank to avoid extended execution times.

• mode (string): What to fetch. Default: "search".
• name (string): Full or partial name to search for (matches first name, last name, or both, e.g. Smith or Julia Smith). Leave blank to browse the whole register.
• registrationNumbers (array): Exact GCC registration numbers to look up, e.g. 01913 or 1913. Default: [].
• maxItems (integer): Hard cap on emitted records. Default: 50.
• postcode (string): A UK postcode (e.g. SW1A 1AA). Results are geocoded and returned nearest-first, matching the site's own "Find a Chiropractor" tool.
• city (string): Filter practices by city or town, e.g. London, Manchester, Edinburgh. GCC resolves this to a geographic area on their end, so nearby towns (e.g. Didsbury, Sale for Manchester) may also appear - matching the site's own "Find a Chiropractor" tool.
• region (string): Filter practices by county or region, e.g. Surrey, West Yorkshire.
• country (string): Filter practices by country, e.g. United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Singapore (GCC-registered chiropractors sometimes practise abroad).
• gender (string): Only return chiropractors of this gender.
• registrationStatus (string): Only return chiropractors whose registration status contains this value.
• registeredAfter (string): Only return chiropractors first registered on or after this date.
• registeredBefore (string): Only return chiropractors first registered on or before this date.

The other 1 controls, with their defaults, are listed in the input schema on UK Chiropractor Register Scraper on Apify.

Fixed-choice controls: mode accepts search (Search the register (name / location filters)), byRegistrationNumber (Lookup by registration number); gender accepts Male, Female; registrationStatus accepts Registered - Practising, Registered - Non-Practising, Suspended, Conditions of Practice, Erased/Struck Off (Erased / Struck Off).

What does UK Chiropractor Register Scraper return?

Returned records provide complete professional details including 5-digit registration numbers, practice addresses, contact information, and published regulatory history. They omit unlisted personal contact details and private residential addresses not published on the GCC register.

• fullName
• gender
• registrationNumber - 5-digit GCC registration number
• registrationStatus - e.g. Registered - Practising, Registered - Non-Practising, Erased/Struck Off
• isRegistered - boolean, derived from registrationStatus
• dateFirstRegistered - ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD)
• qualification - chiropractic degree/diploma and awarding institution, where published
• practices[] - one entry per practice: name, street, city, region, postcode, country, phone, email, website, latitude, longitude
• regulatoryActions[] - only present if the GCC has published a hearing: title, dateRange, finding, outcome, noticeUrl, decisionUrl
• sourceUrl - the exact GCC register page for this registration number
• recordType: "chiropractor", scrapedAt

These are the documented fields. Optional ones can be empty on a given record, so measure how often each field your deliverable depends on is populated across a real sample before automating the handoff.

How do you build the workflow end to end?

Open UK Chiropractor Register Scraper and work through these in order. Each step ends with something to check, so a bad configuration surfaces on a small run rather than a scheduled one.

1. Set mode to search or byRegistrationNumber depending on whether you are querying location criteria or an explicit array of registration numbers.
2. Populate initial search criteria like name, postcode, city, or region while leaving secondary filters like qualificationContains empty.
3. Set maxItems to 50 for a low-cost trial run to inspect the record structure and dataset output.
4. Run the Actor and inspect the dataset to confirm essential fields like fullName, registrationNumber, and registrationStatus are present.
5. Inspect the practices array on active records to verify that street, city, postcode, phone, and website fields populate correctly when published by the GCC.
6. Check the regulatoryActions array on any flagged records to verify that noticeUrl and decisionUrl links function properly.
7. Widen your search by adding controls like registeredAfter or qualificationContains for focused bulk extraction.

How do you apply it? Three worked playbooks

These are UK Chiropractor Register Scraper's own documented use cases, each worked through as an operating pattern rather than a description.

Use case 1: Patient safety checks

Outcome: Verify a chiropractor is currently registered before booking treatment

Configure: Set mode to byRegistrationNumber, registrationNumbers to ["01913"], and maxItems to 10.

Working method: Run a targeted query using an exact GCC registration number. Inspect the returned dataset item to evaluate the registrationStatus field and the derived isRegistered boolean. Review the regulatoryActions array to confirm there are no active findings or suspensions before verifying the practitioner.

Deliverable: A structured JSON record containing the practitioner's active status, full name, 5-digit registration number, and regulatory history.

Stop condition: The returned record displays isRegistered as false or contains an active suspension in regulatoryActions.

Use case 2: Compliance monitoring

Outcome: Track fitness-to-practise outcomes and registration changes over time

Configure: Set mode to search, registrationStatus to Suspended, and maxItems to 500.

Working method: Schedule recurring runs to fetch specific status categories from the GCC register. Compare the output dataset's regulatoryActions array and registrationStatus field against prior runs. Isolate new hearing dates or findings and collect the corresponding noticeUrl links for review.

Deliverable: A compliance report listing all registrants subject to conditions, suspensions, or erasure along with decision PDF links.

Stop condition: The dataset returns zero records for known enforcement statuses or fails to yield standard schema fields.

Use case 3: Market research

Outcome: Analyse practice density by region, qualification pathway, or registration year

Configure: Set mode to search, region to Surrey, registrationStatus to Registered - Practising, and maxItems to 1000.

Working method: Execute a regional search across target counties or postcodes. Group the returned records by city, qualification, and dateFirstRegistered to map local practitioner density. Count items inside the practices array to measure multi-location clinic operations.

Deliverable: An exported dataset with practice counts, geographic coordinates, and qualification pathways categorized by region.

Stop condition: The item count reaches maxItems before completing the regional scan, indicating the need for tighter location filters.

What breaks, and how do you design around it?

When querying rare registration statuses like Erased/Struck Off, client-side filtering can increase execution times as the scraper iterates through general pages. Setting a generous run timeout and keeping maxItems low prevents runs from ending prematurely before finding matches. For location queries, using a valid city or postcode ensures accurate geographical filtering.

When should you not use UK Chiropractor Register Scraper?

Do not use this Actor if you need records for other UK health professionals not regulated by the GCC. For example, to extract and verify registered osteopaths, use the UK Osteopath Register Scraper. If your team monitors dental professionals, use the UK Dentist & Dental Professional Register Scraper instead of attempting to filter chiropractic search queries. If you need data on pharmacists, use the UK Pharmacist Register Scraper.

What should you check before trusting the output?

• Confirm that registrationNumber contains a valid 5-digit string.
• Ensure the isRegistered field evaluates to true whenever registrationStatus starts with Registered.
• Check that active practitioners contain at least one valid object inside the practices array where addresses exist.
• Verify that every entry in regulatoryActions includes a valid URL string for noticeUrl.
• Halt execution if a record returns an invalid registrationStatus value outside the documented GCC statuses.

None of this proves a record is correct. It gives a scheduled UK Chiropractor Register Scraper run defined points where it should stop instead of quietly passing bad data downstream.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to scrape 1,000 chiropractors?

It costs $5.00 per 1,000 results on the free plan. Apify's free plan provides $5.00 in monthly platform usage, which covers up to 1,000 results before standard platform usage charges apply.

Does this scraper return practice contact details?

Yes. Each chiropractor record includes a practices array containing practice names, street addresses, cities, postcodes, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, and geographic coordinates published on the official GCC register.

Can I look up chiropractors using exact registration numbers?

Yes. Set mode to byRegistrationNumber and supply an array of GCC registration numbers in the registrationNumbers input control to run targeted lookups.

Why are some practice details missing from certain records?

A small number of chiropractors, mostly listed as Registered - Non-Practising, have no current practice on file with the GCC. The Actor omits empty fields rather than returning empty values.

How does postcode search work in this Actor?

The Actor geocodes your UK postcode input via postcodes.io and passes those coordinates directly to the GCC proximity search, returning the nearest practitioners first.
