Delaware Business Licenses Scraper — New Business Leads

The Delaware business licenses scraper gives you one row per active Delaware business license for Delaware, straight from the Delaware Division of Revenue via the official data.delaware.gov API. No login or coding needed: run it in your browser, on a schedule, or through the Apify API, and export results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Get newly licensed Delaware businesses as a ready-to-use lead list. The data comes from the Delaware Division of Revenue through the official open-data API (data.delaware.gov dataset 5zy2-grhr). The state republishes the dataset daily.

What you get

Each row is one license plus one trade name. A license registered under several trade names (DBAs) appears once per trade name with the same licenseNumber. Turn on dedupeLicenses to get one row per license. Each row includes the legal and trade name, license category (contractor, retailer, professional services and so on), the year first issued, validity dates, address and coordinates. Rows are sorted newest license first, with a stable tiebreak, so large runs never skip or repeat rows.

  "licenseNumber": "2026952108",
  "businessName": "SOLEX LLC",
  "tradeName": "ZION HVAC",

Input

Field	Description
newSinceYear	Year first issued, or later. Leave empty to use the current year automatically. Use 1900 for all active licenses.
issuedSinceDate	Optional real date, YYYY-MM-DD. Invalid dates fail fast with a clear message.
delawareOnly	Default true. This drops about 3,000 out-of-state licensees.
cities / zipCodes	Location filters
categoryContains	e.g. CONTRACTOR
excludeTradeNameOnly	Drop DBA-only registrants
dedupeLicenses	One row per license number instead of one per trade name
maxItems	Default 200

Pricing (pay per event)

$5 per 1,000 rows ($0.005 each), plus Apify's minimal $0.00005 start fee. Example: 200 leads cost about $1.00. If a run hits your max charge limit, it stops cleanly and reports how many rows it delivered.

Data caveats

Data is provided as published by the State of Delaware. Some source records have implausible dates (for example a validFrom of 2092-07-11). These are passed through unchanged. licenseYear is derived from the first four digits of the license number, not from a separate state field.

License and disclaimer

The source dataset is Public Domain (data.delaware.gov). Only public business records are included, with no personal contact data. This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of Delaware. It covers state business licenses, not the Delaware corporations registry.

FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape Delaware business licenses?

You pay $0.005 per result ($5 per 1,000) plus a $0.00005 start fee, and nothing else. Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, which covers about 1,000 results. See Pricing above for a worked example.

Is it legal to scrape Delaware business licenses?

This Actor reads public records from the Delaware Division of Revenue via the official data.delaware.gov API, using only public endpoints (no login, no CAPTCHA bypass, no private accounts). See the source/license section above for the dataset's terms. You are responsible for how you use the data; this is not legal advice.

How fresh is the data?

Each run reads the source live, so you get whatever the agency has published at that moment. How often the agency updates, and any known lag, is described in the data caveats/notes section above.

Can I use it via API, on a schedule, or with Google Sheets?

Yes. Every Apify Actor has a REST API and client libraries for Python and JavaScript. You can schedule daily or weekly runs, and send results to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n, webhooks, or an AI agent via the Apify MCP server.

I need another city, county or field. Can you add it?

Open an issue on the Issues tab with the city or data source you need. We build new public-records scrapers regularly.
