Start a run
To choose the targets yourself, send the parameters below as input. The call returns 202 with the run; the key needs the scrapers:run scope and the account a positive credit balance.
curl -X POST "https://api.pandorlabs.com/v1/scrapers/doctors-switzerland/runs" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $PANDORLABS_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "input": { "physiciansOnly": false, "concurrency": 6, "startId": 1, "endId": 0 } }'A run is billed at the live rate once it finishes: 2 credits per 100 rows it collected. A run that collects nothing costs nothing.
Parameters
Every parameter is optional. Anything you leave out uses the default shown here; an unknown name or an invalid value is rejected with a 400 that lists each problem.
Targeting
physiciansOnlyboolean
Physicians only
Every id still has to be fetched — the register has no profession filter that lists everyone — but only physicians are stored. Off keeps dentists, pharmacists, chiropractors and veterinarians too.
- Default
false
Advanced
concurrencynumber
Parallel requests
The register answers ~6 requests a second at best; more workers mostly queue.
- Default
6- Range
- 1 to 16
startIdnumber
First MedReg id
- Default
1- Range
- at least 1
endIdnumber
Last MedReg id
Zero walks until `stopAfterEmpty` consecutive ids have no record.
- Default
0- Range
- at least 0
stopAfterEmptynumber
Stop after N empty ids
About a quarter of ids are unpublished, so gaps of a few dozen are normal. 2,000 in a row means the end of the register.
- Default
2000- Range
- 50 to 100000
maxRecordsnumber
Max records per run
- Default
1000000- Range
- 1 to 1000000

The run is asynchronous. Poll it until it reaches a terminal status and its billing is paid, then page through its rows. Until then the rows endpoint answers 409 (still queued or running) or 402 (payment required).
