      description: 'Retrieves the list of active provider NPIs within the developer''s Zocdoc directory. The NPIs retrieved here can be used to search for providers in the /v1/providers endpoint to facilitate availability, discovery, and booking.


        Developers can fetch the NPI list and cache in their system. The available NPIs do not change frequently. Pulling this data once a week and/or after known directory change events should be sufficient.
