Liquor License Scraper – New Licenses & Applications from CA ABC, NY SLA, TX TABC

What is Liquor License Scraper?

Liquor License Scraper pulls newly issued liquor licenses and pending new license applications from the official alcohol regulators of California (ABC), New York (SLA) and Texas (TABC) and returns them in one normalized dataset. Pending applications show up weeks before a bar, restaurant or liquor store opens. Built for beverage distributors, POS and restaurant-tech vendors, insurers, food-service suppliers and agencies.

What data can I extract?

state, recordType (issued / application), licenseNumber, licenseType, status, businessName, ownerName, address, city, zip, issueDate, expirationDate, mailingAddress and escrow (CA), and sourceUrl.

How much does it cost to scrape liquor licenses?

Pay per result: $0.004 per license ($4 per 1,000), no monthly rental and no start fee. The 20-record prefilled run costs about $0.08, well inside Apify's free monthly credit.

Why use it

• Catch openings early: pending applications appear weeks before a venue opens.
• One schema for three states: CA, NY and TX use the same normalized fields.
• "New since" date filter: schedule daily or weekly runs and pull only new records.
• Filters: city, county and license type (for example 47 / Eating Place in CA, or Restaurant in NY).
• Includes escrow and mailing address (CA): useful for reaching owners during a license transfer.
