Capabilities

Complete medical provider intelligence

Our Doximity pipeline captures verified physician credentials, clinical networks, and academic histories — bypassing aggressive rate limits and navigating complex directory structures.

NPI & Credential Mapping

Extract National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers, board certifications, and state licensure data directly from physician profiles.

Hospital Network Graphs

Map primary and secondary hospital affiliations, identifying which providers admit patients to specific regional health systems.

Education & Residency Tracking

Capture medical school alma maters, graduation years, residency programs, and fellowship details to build academic pedigrees.

Publication & Research History

Extract linked medical publications, clinical trial participation, PubMed IDs, and co-author networks.

Geographic Provider Mapping

Track provider locations down to the city and state level, useful for evaluating regional specialty coverage and care deserts.

Specialty Categorisation

Normalise primary specialties and sub-specialties across thousands of profiles into standard medical taxonomies.

Anti-Bot Circumvention

Navigate Doximity's aggressive rate-limiting and IP bans using residential proxy pools and TLS fingerprint spoofing.

Directory Traversal

Systematically paginate through Doximity's alphabetical state and specialty directories to ensure total catalogue coverage.

Change Detection Pipeline

Monitor known profiles for updates to affiliations, newly published research, or changes in licensure status.

Under the hood

Navigating healthcare directory protections

Doximity restricts automated access to protect its proprietary physician graph. Here is how our infrastructure maintains extraction stability.

Rate limit evasion
Residential proxies + request throttling

Doximity monitors request velocity and IP reputation aggressively. Our crawlers use US-based residential ISP proxies, randomise request timing, and limit concurrency per subnet to avoid triggering automated blocks.

Directory traversal
Handling infinite scroll and nested pagination

Extracting the full provider directory requires navigating complex nested pagination across states, cities, and specialties. Our spiders map the directory tree and maintain state to ensure no profiles are dropped.

Data normalisation
Structuring unstructured medical text

Physician bios and affiliation lists often contain free-text variations of the same hospital or specialty. We extract the raw text and apply normalisation rules to align with standard healthcare taxonomies.

Schema drift
Resilient selectors for profile layouts

Doximity frequently updates its profile UI. We use multiple fallback chains per field — CSS selectors, XPath, and JSON-LD structured data extraction — so layout changes do not break your data feed.

Change detection
Only re-scrape updated profiles

For ongoing monitoring, we maintain a hash index of last-seen values per physician. Subsequent runs only push diffs — reducing compute cost and downstream processing load.

Applications

Who uses Doximity data — and how

Teams across industries use doximity.com data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
Pharma & Biotech Targeting

Life sciences commercial teams identify Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) based on publication history, specialty, and clinical trial participation.

02
Healthcare Recruitment

Medical recruiting firms build talent pools by extracting physician credentials, residency completion dates, and current affiliations.

03
Provider Network Optimisation

Health insurance payers analyse hospital affiliations and geographic density to evaluate network adequacy and identify out-of-network providers.

04
Medical Device Sales

Sales operations teams map hospital networks and physician specialties to route leads and define sales territories.

05
Telehealth Network Expansion

Digital health startups verify state licensure and board certifications to quickly onboard qualified providers into their telemedicine platforms.

06
Master Data Management

Healthcare data teams use Doximity profiles to enrich internal CRM records, cross-referencing NPI numbers with up-to-date clinical affiliations.

Why DataFlirt

"Doximity holds the most accurate, professionally maintained graph of US medical professionals — but extracting that graph requires navigating strict directory protections."

Building a healthcare provider dataset requires more than basic HTTP requests. Doximity deploys advanced fingerprinting and rate-limiting to prevent scraping. DataFlirt handles the proxy rotation, session spoofing, and directory traversal so your data engineering team can focus on entity resolution and analysis.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the Doximity pipeline

Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.

ScrapyPlaywrightPython 3.12RedisPostgreSQLApache AirflowAWS LambdaS3CloudWatch2CaptchaCapSolverResidential ProxiesDockerKubernetesGrafanaPrometheus
Scrapy + Playwright Stack

Scrapy handles crawl orchestration, deduplication, and retry logic. Playwright handles JavaScript rendering and interaction flows. Combined via scrapy-playwright middleware.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of US residential ISP proxies. Rotation happens per-request with sticky sessions where required. IP score monitoring prevents blacklisted pool contamination.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines run on AWS Lambda and ECS. Airflow handles scheduling, dependency management, and SLA alerting. All state stored in managed Postgres.

Common questions.

About doximity.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Doximity legal?

Scraping publicly available information from Doximity is generally permissible under applicable law, reinforced by the hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated provider profile data. We do not extract personal patient data, circumvent authentication walls, or violate HIPAA. Clients should review Doximity's ToS and consult legal counsel for specific use cases.

How do you handle Doximity's rate limits?

We use US-based residential ISP proxies, full Playwright browser sessions with realistic fingerprints, and request timing modelled on human behaviour. We monitor for 429/CAPTCHA rate spikes in real time and trigger pool rotation automatically.

What fields are included in the physician profile?

Standard extraction includes name, title, primary specialty, sub-specialty, NPI number, city, state, hospital affiliations, education history, board certifications, and publication links.

Do you extract private colleague networks?

No. We only extract data visible on the public-facing provider profiles and directories. We do not log into accounts to scrape private peer connections or direct messages.

How frequently is the provider data updated?

Pipelines can be configured for monthly, weekly, or daily runs depending on your requirements. For large directories, we recommend a rolling update schedule where a subset of profiles is refreshed daily.

Can you cross-reference with the NPI registry?

Yes. We can enrich the extracted Doximity profiles by joining them against the NPPES NPI registry to append official taxonomy codes, practice locations, and Medicare enrollment status.

Can I request a sample dataset before committing?

Absolutely. We provide a sample run of up to 500 profiles for your target specialty as part of the pre-engagement scoping process — so you can validate schema fit and data quality before signing any contract.
