Coverage

  • The actor returns records for the United States and Australia only.

  • It reads 18 public sources: 7 in the US and 11 in Australia, counting ABIME once in the US. ABIME lists experts in several countries; the actor keeps only its US and Australian records.

  • UK and Canadian records are not offered. The country input accepts US and AU only, because the public actor refuses any other country and stops the run with an error.

  • The same person on several directories comes back as one record listing every source.

  • Every source's own specialty tags map to one taxonomy, so "Forensic Psychiatry" and "Psychiatrist, general adult" filter together.

  • Australian panel sources print the panel's contact details, not the doctor's, so those records carry a name, specialty, and state but no email.

Emails

The actor never guesses an email. published_email is empty unless a source page printed an address, and email_source names the page.

Source terms

Several sources publish terms that restrict automated collection, reproduction, commercial use, or soliciting the people they list. The actor README gives the terms posture of each source as it was published when the actor was built. The actor reports the terms; it does not decide for you. Make your own call for your use case, and take legal advice where it matters.

Tool

find_expert_witnesses

Find expert witnesses and medico-legal assessors in the United States and Australia, filtered by specialty, region, country, and source.

Input

Type

Required

Notes

specialty

array

no

Taxonomy codes, for example medicine.psychiatry or engineering.structural. A parent code also matches its children: medicine.psychiatry includes medicine.psychiatry.forensic. Empty returns every specialty. 55 codes.

region

array

no

State or region as the source prints it, for example Queensland, California, New South Wales. Case and accents are ignored. Empty returns every region.

country

array

no

US, AU, or both. Empty returns both. No other value is accepted: the public actor refuses a UK or Canadian request and stops the run.

sources

array

no

Directories to read. Empty reads the 18 implemented sources: abime, lacourt-panels, sfbar, cccba, isba, lsba, aaimco, medilaw, lexmedicus, aushub, medicolegal-specialists, index-medicolegal, themis, integrityml, vmls, lime, mag-directory, workcover-wa. The other 17 values the actor offers are planned or not covered; the actor skips them and names them in its RUN_SUMMARY record.

mode

string

no

list (default) returns every matching expert. feed returns only experts that are new, changed, or returned since the last run on the same persistent store, plus removed rows. Unchanged experts are not emitted and cost nothing.

verifyNppes

boolean

no

Off by default. Checks each US record against the free NPPES monthly file and adds npi and nppes_status. NPPES carries no email.

maxItems

integer

no

Stop after this many output rows. Default 100. 0 means no cap. A capped run never marks listings as removed.

persistStoreName

string

no

Named key-value store in your Apify account that keeps expert records between runs. Default expert-witness-directory-store. Reuse the same name for feed mode.

Nothing is required. A call with no inputs reads all 18 sources and returns up to 100 experts.

A run with maxItems: 0 reads every listing on every source at one request per 2 seconds per host. It has not been timed, and it may pass the 3,600 second run timeout this wrapper sets. Set maxItems for an interactive call.

Pricing

Expert Witness Directory is pay per event on Apify. Four events are billed.

Event

Charged for

Price

Fires when

expert-record

Expert record

$0.004

Once per deduplicated expert row written to the dataset. In feed mode, once per new, changed, returned, or removed row; unchanged experts are not emitted and cost nothing.

email-found

Email returned

$0.01

Once per row that carries a published email a source page printed. Removed rows never charge it.

npi-verified

NPPES check

$0.002

Once per US row checked against the NPPES monthly file. Only when verifyNppes is on.

apify-actor-start

Actor start

$0.00005

Charged by Apify when the run starts, one event per GB of memory. One event at the 1024 MB default.

Actor

Actor ID LIpwlgfE3LaQBaXd4. The wrapper calls the actor by that immutable ID rather than by its Store slug, so a Store rename never breaks it.

Built by Mamba Labs.

Read-only

Find expert witnesses and medico-legal assessors in the United States and Australia. Reads 18 public directories (7 in the US, 11 in Australia, ABIME counted once), merges the same person across directories into one record, and maps every source's specialty tags to one taxonomy. Each row carries name, specialty, state or region, country, firm, practice site, phone, listing URL, and the sources that list the person. country accepts US and AU only: the public actor covers the United States and Australia and refuses a UK or Canadian request, so the run stops with an error on any other value. published_email is filled only when a source page printed an address; the actor never guesses an email. Several sources publish terms that restrict automated collection, reproduction, commercial use, or solicitation; the actor README lists each source's terms posture, and the use decision is yours. mode list returns every matching expert; mode feed returns only experts new, changed, returned, or removed since the last run on the same persistent store. Charges $0.004 per expert record, $0.01 per row with a published email, $0.002 per US row checked against NPPES when verifyNppes is on, and $0.00005 per actor start per GB of memory (one event at the 1024 MB default). Requires an APIFY_TOKEN and consumes Apify credits. Read only against the directories; it writes only to the named key-value store in your own Apify account.

Inputs: mode, region, country, sources, +4 more.

    TDQS

    A4.4/5.0

    Scored across 1 tool

    Disambiguation5/5

    Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of selecting the wrong tool or confusing overlapping purposes. The single tool's scope is clearly defined as finding expert witnesses.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    With a single tool named find_expert_witnesses, naming is inherently consistent and follows a clear snake_case verb_noun pattern. No mixed conventions are present.

    Tool Count3/5

    One tool is on the thin side according to the rubric's 1-2 tool borderline range, though it suits the narrow read-only search purpose. The tool consolidates search, list, and feed modes without fragmentation.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool covers the core search lifecycle: querying 18 directories, merging records, mapping specialties, returning contact data, and supporting list/feed change modes. Minor gaps exist for separate source metadata or single-expert retrieval, but agents can work around them via returned listing URLs.
