CA State Bar Attorney Search Scraper

What does CA State Bar Attorney Search Scraper do?

CA State Bar Attorney Search Scraper converts public attorney search pages from the State Bar of California into a clean dataset. It is an unofficial California attorney directory API alternative for searches by bar number, name, and public advanced-search filters.

The Actor does not access My State Bar Profile, private complaints, confidential records, or any login-protected information. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State Bar of California.

Why use CA State Bar Attorney Search Scraper?

• Verify a public California attorney profile by stable State Bar number.
• Search names or bar numbers through the official quick-search interface.
• Use advanced filters for name, firm, city, state, ZIP, district, county, certified specialty, language, or self-reported practice area.
• Extract current license status and the published admission, disciplinary, and administrative history.
• Capture self-reported practice areas, languages, law school, and public profile contact details.
• Schedule checks and connect datasets to Apify APIs, webhooks, Google Sheets, or other integrations.
• Deduplicate records by State Bar number with bounded retries, low concurrency, and a polite request delay.

How to search California attorney profiles

1. Open the Actor input tab.
2. Add exact numbers to State Bar numbers for deterministic profile checks.
3. Add attorney names or numbers to Name or bar-number searches for quick search.
4. Optionally add advanced-search objects. Use the official form codes for specialty, language, and practice area filters.
5. Set maxResults to cap the number of unique profiles.
6. Keep the default concurrency and delay unless a lower request rate is required.
7. Click Start, then inspect or download the dataset.

How much will it cost to search the California State Bar?

The Actor uses lightweight HTTP extraction, not a browser, so small lookups normally consume little compute. Cost depends on search count, matching profiles, retries, proxy use, and your Apify plan. Use exact bar numbers and a small maxResults for the lowest, most predictable usage. Check the Console usage page for current free-tier and plan limits.

Input

See the input tab for full configuration options.

• barNumbers: exact numeric identifiers.
• queries: official quick-search strings.
• advancedSearches: public advanced-search fields with a common matching mode.
• maxResults: unique-profile safety limit.
• maxConcurrency: simultaneous detail requests, capped at six.
• requestDelayMillis: minimum delay before every public-site request.
• proxyConfiguration: optional Apify Proxy configuration.

At least one lookup mode is required. Invalid input types, empty advanced objects, and malformed bar numbers fail early.

Output

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

The example demonstrates the schema. Every run parses the current public page, so values can change.

Tips and advanced options

• Prefer exact bar numbers for verification workflows.
• Use precise name and city combinations to avoid large result sets.
• Practice areas are self-reported; do not treat them as certification.
• Review statusHistory and the official profile before making a legal-services decision.
• A profile with no public individual details is logged and omitted.
