California Contractor Directory by Trade & County (CSLB)

Pull every licensed contractor in a California county by trade — business name, contact details, license status, classifications, bond, and workers' comp — straight from the official CSLB registry. One run returns a clean, structured list ready for lead generation, CRM import, license verification, or market analysis.

Inputs

Field	Required	Type	Default	Description
licenseClass	yes	string	"C-10"	CSLB classification code, e.g. 'B' (General Building), 'C-10' (Electrical), 'C-36' (Plumbing). Returns every active contractor holding this classification in the chosen county.
county	yes	string	"Sacramento"	Full California county name, e.g. 'Los Angeles', 'Sacramento', 'Orange'.
maxResults	no	integer	—	Cap on the number of license records returned in a single run. Leave empty to return all matches.
proxyConfiguration	no	object	{"useApifyProxy": false}	Optional. CSLB is usually reachable directly; enable a proxy (e.g. residential) only if runs return no data because the IP is blocked.

Pricing (Pay Per Event)

You pay per result (dataset-item) — no charge for empty runs. Example: 500 C-10 electricians in Los Angeles County at $0.002/result ≈ $1.00.

Illustrative — the final per-result price is set at publish time. Apify platform usage (compute) is billed separately per your plan.

Use cases

• B2B lead lists — target licensed trades (electricians, plumbers, general builders) by county for suppliers, SaaS, insurers, and lenders.
• License verification & compliance — confirm a contractor's status, bond, and workers' comp coverage.
• Market analysis — size and segment the contractor market by classification and county.

Limitations & updates

Covers California's CSLB public registry only (public record under Business & Professions Code §7000 et seq.). Results reflect the live registry and change as it updates. One classification + county per run.

Which actor to choose

Part of the California CSLB contractor suite — pick the one that fits your goal:

• California Contractor Directory by Trade & County (CSLB) (this actor) — You want a bulk lead list — every licensed contractor of a given trade (classification) in a county, in one run.
• California Contractor License Lookup & Verify (CSLB) — You want to verify or look up specific contractors — by license number, business name, or a person's name (owner/personnel).
