Contractor License Search – New Contractor Leads WA OR TX NY

Search official state contractor and trade license registries in one schema: business name, owner or principal, trade/specialty, license status, issue and expiry dates, address, phone, and (Oregon) bond and insurance details.

Use it to find newly licensed contractors (fresh leads for suppliers, insurers, software and marketing agencies), verify a contractor's license before hiring, or build lists of active roofers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC and general contractors by city, ZIP or county.

Data comes from the states' own open-data portals (Socrata APIs). No scraping, no login.

New-contractor monitoring

Turn on Only new records, set issuedWithinDays (for example 14) and schedule the Actor weekly. Each run returns only licenses you have not received before (tracked per State key).

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0015 per license saved ($1.50 per 1,000), plus a tiny start fee. Set Max licenses or a maximum cost per run; the run stops cleanly at that limit.

Notes

• Data is as current as each state's portal (WA, TX and NY update daily; OR at least monthly).
• Oregon's registry contains active licenses only.
• issuedWithinDays uses the license effective date (WA), issue date (NY) or original registration date (OR). Texas publishes no issue date, so Texas is skipped when a date filter is set.
• Always confirm a license on the state's official lookup before relying on it.
