This function takes an npi_results S3 object returned by
npi_search and flattens its list columns. It unnests the
lists columns and left joins them by npi. You can optionally specify
which columns from df to include.

The names of unnested columns are prefixed by the name of their originating list column to avoid name clashes and show their lineage. List columns containing all NULL data will be absent from the result because there are no columns to unnest.

(Optional) 10-digit NPI number assigned to the provider. |
enumeration_type |
(Optional) Type of provider associated with the NPI, one of:
|
taxonomy_description |
(Optional) Scalar character vector with a taxonomy description or code from the NUCC Healthcare Provider Taxonomy. |
first_name |
(Optional) This field only applies to Individual Providers. Trailing wildcard entries are permitted requiring at least two characters to be entered (e.g. "jo*" ). This field allows the following special characters: ampersand, apostrophe, colon, comma, forward slash, hyphen, left and right parentheses, period, pound sign, quotation mark, and semi-colon. |
last_name |
(Optional) This field only applies to Individual Providers. Trailing wildcard entries are permitted requiring at least two characters to be entered. This field allows the following special characters: ampersand, apostrophe, colon, comma, forward slash, hyphen, left and right parentheses, period, pound sign, quotation mark, and semi-colon. |
use_first_name_alias |
(Optional) This field only applies to Individual Providers when not doing a wildcard search. When set to "True", the search results will include Providers with similar First Names. E.g., first_name=Robert, will also return Providers with the first name of Rob, Bob, Robbie, Bobby, etc. Valid Values are: TRUE: Will include alias/similar names; FALSE: Will only look for exact matches. |
organization_name |
(Optional) This field only applies to Organizational Providers. Trailing wildcard entries are permitted requiring at least two characters to be entered. This field allows the following special characters: ampersand, apostrophe, "at" sign, colon, comma, forward slash, hyphen, left and right parentheses, period, pound sign, quotation mark, and semi-colon. Both the Organization Name and Other Organization Name fields associated with an NPI are examined for matching contents, therefore, the results might contain an organization name different from the one entered in the Organization Name criterion. |
address_purpose |
Refers to whether the address information entered pertains to the provider's Mailing Address or the provider's Practice Location Address. When not specified, the results will contain the providers where either the Mailing Address or any of Practice Location Addresses match the entered address information. Primary will only search against Primary Location Address. While Secondary will only search against Secondary Location Addresses. Valid values are: "location", "mailing", "primary", "secondary". |
city |
The City associated with the provider's address identified in Address Purpose. To search for a Military Address enter either APO or FPO into the City field. This field allows the following special characters: ampersand, apostrophe, colon, comma, forward slash, hyphen, left and right parentheses, period, pound sign, quotation mark, and semi-colon. |
state |
The State abbreviation associated with the provider's address identified in Address Purpose. This field cannot be used as the only input criterion. If this field is used, at least one other field, besides the Enumeration Type and Country, must be populated. Valid values for states: https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/registry/API-State-Abbr |
postal_code |
The Postal Code associated with the provider's address identified in Address Purpose. If you enter a 5 digit postal code, it will match any appropriate 9 digit (zip+4) codes in the data. Trailing wildcard entries are permitted requiring at least two characters to be entered (e.g., "21*"). |
country_code |
The Country associated with the provider's address identified in Address Purpose. This field can be used as the only input criterion as long as the value selected is not US (United States). Valid values for country codes: https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/registry/API-Country-Abbr |
limit |
Maximum number of records to return, from 1 to 1200 inclusive.
The default is 10. Because the API returns up to 200 records per request,
values of |
By default, the function requests up to 10 records, but the
