Healthgrades API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Healthgrades hospital profile API to extract supported public Healthgrades data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/healthgrades/hospitalReturns one Healthgrades hospital profile: hospital-wide and specialty awards with years, clinical outcome ratings by service line (procedure or condition, measure, outcome rating, and 1-5 stars), patient-experience measures with national comparisons, address, and phone. Patient-authored reviews are not returned. Requests use US egress because Healthgrades restricts content by region. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Send your scraping API key in the x-api-key header. Use the console API Keys page to rotate or select the active key.

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |

| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
