Healthgrades API endpoint
Use Crawlora's Healthgrades Award Recipients 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/hospital-awardsReturns one page (20 hospitals) of a Healthgrades hospital quality award list: America's Best Hospitals (top 50, 100, or 250), Specialty Excellence (by specialty, top 50 or 100), Patient Safety Excellence, Outstanding Patient Experience, Ob-Gyn Care, or Specialty State Rankings. Filter by year, state, city, specialty, and Ob-Gyn award type; sort by name or, with latitude and longitude, by distance. Each hospital includes its profile URL (for /healthgrades/hospital), address, coordinates, phone, and every award it holds with years. Read accepted filter values from /healthgrades/hospital-awards/filters. 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.
