## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Colorado Electrical & Plumbing Contractor List and DORA License Lookup (businesses only)

**Every registered Colorado electrical and plumbing contractor business, from the state's official DORA license data.** About **4,700 electrical contractors** and **3,100 plumbing contractors** with an active registration. Each row has the business name, registration number, contractor type, status, first issue, last renewal and expiration dates, city, state, ZIP, discipline flag and a link to the official DORA license record.

**Sample output** (real rows, a few of the columns):

| `businessName` | `licenseType` | `licenseNumber` | `firstIssueDate` | `city` | `zipCode` |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fycon Ltd | Electrical Contractor | 104031 | 2026-11-03 | Northglenn | 80233 |
| Pure Electrical, LLC | Electrical Contractor | 104030 | 2026-11-02 | Denver | 80249 |
| Zoom Drain Colorado Springs | Plumbing Contractor | 5837 | 2026-10-29 | Colorado Springs | 80904 |
| KBE Plumbing Ltd. | Plumbing Contractor | 5834 | 2026-10-28 | Colorado Springs | 80908 |

### Quick start: 3 ready-made searches

Press **Try for free**, open the **JSON** view of the input form, paste one of these and press **Start**. Results appear in the **Output** tab in seconds and export to Excel or CSV.

**New Colorado electrical and plumbing contractors, last 90 days** (up to 500 rows, so at most $1.50)

```json
{"issuedWithinDays": 90, "maxResults": 500}
```

**Every active electrical contractor in the Denver metro** (up to 3,000 rows, so at most $9.00)

```json
{"licenseTypes": ["EC"], "zipCodes": ["800", "801", "802"], "coloradoOnly": true, "maxResults": 3000}
```

**Verify a list of Colorado contractor registrations**

```json
{"licenseNumbers": ["104031", "104030", "5837"]}
```

**Free to try:** Apify's free plan ($5/month in credit, no card needed) covers about **1,600 records** a month.
**Price:** $3.00 per 1,000 results.

No browser, no proxies, no login, no API key. The Actor reads Colorado's open-data API (data.colorado.gov), so runs take seconds.

### Three ways to use it

1. **New-contractor leads.** Set `issuedWithinDays` (for example 30) to get every electrical or plumbing contractor business Colorado registered in that window, newest first. Schedule it weekly.
2. **Full Colorado contractor list.** Leave `issuedWithinDays` at 0 and filter by contractor type, city, ZIP or business name.
3. **Bulk DORA license lookup / verification.** Paste registration numbers into `licenseNumbers` to check status, expiration date and discipline for a whole subcontractor list in one run. Use `expiresFrom` / `expiresTo` to find registrations coming up for renewal.

### What you get

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `businessName` | Fycon Ltd |
| `licenseNumber`, `licenseType`, `licenseTypeCode`, `trade` | 104031, Electrical Contractor, EC, Electrical |
| `licenseStatus` | Active, Active - With Conditions, Expired, Revoked, Need Master Hire - Cannot Practice... |
| `firstIssueDate`, `lastRenewedDate`, `expirationDate` | 2026-11-03, 2026-11-03, 2029-09-30 |
| `city`, `state`, `zipCode` | Northglenn, CO, 80233 |
| `hasDiscipline`, `disciplineCaseNumber`, `disciplineAction`, `disciplineEffectiveDate` | false |
| `verifyUrl` | the registration's official DORA license record |
| `sourceUrl`, `sourceAgency`, `retrievedAt` | dataset link and agency |

Colorado's open data has no street address or phone number. City, state and ZIP are included.

### Input

| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `licenseTypes` | `EC` electrical contractor, `PC` plumbing contractor | both |
| `issuedWithinDays` | Only registrations first issued in the last N days (0 = any) | 0 |
| `issuedFrom` / `issuedTo` | Exact first-issue-date window | none |
| `licenseNumbers` | Bulk lookup: only these registration numbers, any status | none |
| `cities` / `zipCodes` | Location filters | all |
| `keywords` | Business name contains | none |
| `coloradoOnly` | Skip out-of-state contractors registered in Colorado | false |
| `expiresFrom` / `expiresTo` | Expiration-date window (renewal prospecting) | none |
| `activeOnly` | Active registrations only | true |
| `includeDiscipline` | Discipline case number, action and dates | true |
| `maxResults` | Cap (you pay per result) | 100 |

### Who uses this

- **Electrical and plumbing supply houses, distributors and equipment dealers** prospecting new Colorado contractors.
- **Insurance, surety and bonding agents**, including renewal prospecting by expiration date.
- **Field-service, estimating and payments software** selling to trade contractors.
- **General contractors, property managers and marketplaces** verifying electrical and plumbing subcontractors in bulk.

### Privacy by design

- **Contractor business registrations only.** Colorado registers electrical and plumbing contractors as businesses. Individual electrician and plumber licenses (journeyman, master, apprentice) are never read.
- **No personal names.** Rows that carry a person's first or last name, or whose business name looks like a person's name, are dropped (about 2% of rows). `RUN_SUMMARY.droppedPersonName` shows the count.

### Common questions

**Is this data legal to use?** Yes. It is official Colorado DORA data published on data.colorado.gov under a public-domain license.

**How fresh is it?** The state refreshes the dataset daily. Each run queries it live, and every row has `retrievedAt`.

**How do I verify a Colorado electrical or plumbing contractor?** Paste the registration number into `licenseNumbers`, or part of the name into `keywords` with `activeOnly` off. You get status, expiration and discipline, and `verifyUrl` opens the official DORA record. Always confirm there before you hire.

**How much does it cost?** Free to try with Apify's free plan ($5/month credit, no credit card), which covers about 1,600 records a month. After that it is $3.00 per 1,000 results, plus a fraction of a cent per run.

**Can I get new contractors automatically every week?** Yes. Save your filters as a task and add a weekly **Schedule** with `issuedWithinDays: 7`. Send each batch to Google Sheets, Slack, email, Zapier, Make or n8n under **Integrations**.

**Can I call it from code or an AI agent?** Yes. Use the Apify API or the Python/JavaScript clients, or connect it to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through the Apify MCP server.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
