Florida Business Leads Scraper – New LLC Filings (Sunbiz) & Contractor Licenses (DBPR)

Get fresh Florida contractor leads straight from the official Florida DBPR license database (myfloridalicense.com): roofing, general, residential, building, plumbing, AC/HVAC, pool/spa, solar and more – filtered by county or city, active licenses only, exported to Excel/CSV/JSON.

Use cases

• B2B sales & lead gen – sell roofing supplies, insurance, software, marketing or financing to licensed contractors in a county.
• Hiring & vetting – verify a contractor's license number, status and expiry before signing.
• Market research – count licensed roofers or pool builders per county.
• CRM enrichment – add license status/expiry to existing contractor lists.

Pricing (pay-per-event)

• actor-start – $0.005 per run
• result – $0.0025 per record ($2.50 per 1,000 leads)

Notes & limitations

• Data is public record from the Florida DBPR; it does not include phone numbers or emails.
• DBPR's server is slow and returns intermittent errors; the Actor retries automatically with backoff and rate-limits itself (~1 request / 1.5–2.5 s). Expect ~1,000 records per 10–15 minutes.
• The live Sunbiz website search (sunbiz-search) sits behind a Cloudflare browser check and is usually refused; use sunbiz-daily instead.
• Use responsibly and comply with Florida public-records and anti-spam (CAN-SPAM/TCPA) laws.

NEW: Sunbiz new business filings (official daily data)

Source sunbiz-daily reads the Florida Department of State's official free daily corporate data files (new corporations, LLCs, LPs filed each work day) and returns: document number, name, status, entity type, filing date, principal & mailing address, FEI number, registered agent, and up to 6 officers/managers with addresses.

Filters: dateFrom/dateTo (file dates), zipPresets (sarasota-area), zipCodes, cities, entityTypes (e.g. FLAL = Florida LLC), searchTerms, activeOnly, maxResults.

Example input – this week's new LLCs in Sarasota County:

{"sources":["sunbiz-daily"],"zipPresets":["sarasota-area"],"entityTypes":["FLAL"],"maxResults":200}

Notes: daily files exist only for state work days and are usually posted the next day. The state file has no county field, so location filtering uses ZIP/city. filingDate is the formation/effective date recorded by the state (it can be later than the file date).
