Doctor.com is Pleased to Announce the First-Ever Nationwide Doctor Search API!
The Doctor.com API allows you to seamlessly integrate our powerful doctor search platform into your current website with minimal effort. 

Why Integrate the Doctor.com API with Your Site? Beyond providing a new and valuable service to your users, the Doctor.com API can provide fantastic benefits to site owners, including:

1. Thousands of additional pages of quality, indexable content. Search engines love data-rich listings and will reward you with more indexed pages, improved page quality scores, and, most importantly, substantial traffic from long-tail terms such as provider names, practice street addresses, etc. (such traffic makes up the vast majority of Doctor.com's monthly visits)
   
   
2. Valuable real-estate that can be monetized with contextual ads (such as AdSense), traditional CPM media, or custom sponsorships. Using user search data, you can easily target advertising to users looking for a specific type of doctor, which is a capability advertisers greatly value. Think about it, if a user is searching for an dermatologist, the chance of them being interested in a product that improves skin condition is vastly higher than a user casually browsing a medical-related website. You will find that ads on pages using the Doctor.com API will yield higher revenues per click/CPM rates and improved click-thrus versus ads on less specific pages. If you have an ad sales team, the API empowers them to present very compelling category sponsorship opportunities to advertisers.
   
   
3. Improved visitor retention rates, longer average time on site per user, and more average visits per page per user.

How the API Works
Users execute their searches and browse search results on your site, giving you maximum integration flexibility. The search results that are visible on your site provide basic information such as the provider's name, medical specialty, health insurance affiliations, etc. To view more specific details or to contact the provider, the API provides a link to the Doctor's complete profile on Doctor.com.
