Then open one listing for credentials, verification, licenses, fees and sliding scale, insurance, specialties, therapy types, formats, languages, practice phone and locations.

API.SH vs the official Psychology Today API

Psychology Today does not offer a public API for its directory, and its terms of use cover how site content may be reused. API.SH returns public professional listings only, as JSON.

Instead of building a Psychology Today scraper or running an Apify actor, API.SH gives you directory search and profiles at a fixed price per call with one key.

Psychology Today API questions

What Psychology Today data can I get?+

Directory search by location and type with refinements (/psychologytoday/v1/search) and one professional's full listing with credentials, licenses, fees, insurance, specialties, therapy types, languages and practice locations (/psychologytoday/v1/profile).

How much does the Psychology Today API cost?+

Every Psychology Today endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /psychologytoday/v1/profile at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Psychology Today API?+

No. Psychology Today has no public developer API for its directory. API.SH reads the public directory pages and returns them as JSON.

Do I need a Psychology Today account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public listings only. No endpoint uses a member login, and nothing private such as client data is returned.

Can I filter by insurance, issue or language?+

Yes. Pass issues, insurance, treatment, age, language, faith, availability or gender by name, or pass option ids in filters. The response lists the available refinement options and the ids applied.

Is it legal to scrape Psychology Today?+

API.SH returns only public professional listing data. You are responsible for using it within Psychology Today's terms of use and local law, and for respecting professionals' privacy, for example by not sending unsolicited bulk messages.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /psychologytoday/v1/search with state=ny, city=new-york and category=anxiety. Docs and request examples are at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
