AOA Optometrist Doctor Finder Scraper

Scrapes the American Optometric Association's official Doctor Locator to extract structured optometrist profiles from the AOA's member database. Returns doctor name, practice, full address, phone number, and profile URL for every member listed in any US state.

Features

  • Full national coverage — enumerate all 50 US states or a custom subset
  • Official source — data comes directly from AOA's member database, not from Google Maps guesses
  • Structured records — name, practice, street address, city, state, ZIP, phone, and AOA member/practice IDs
  • maxItems control — stop early for quick samples or market research snapshots
  • Deduplication — skips duplicate member/practice combinations across overlapping state queries

Input

Field Type Default Description
states string[] ["NY"] 2-letter US state codes to scrape. Leave empty for all 50 states.
maxItems integer 10 Maximum records to return. 0 = unlimited.

Example — sample from New York:

{
  "states": ["NY"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Example — full national roster:

{
  "states": [],
  "maxItems": 0
}
