Louisiana Contractor Leads Scraper (LSLBC) — with Emails

License-verified Louisiana contractor leads, and the board hands you the email. Every row is pulled live from the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) public registry — company, license number, classification, status, expiration date, mailing address, phone, and the contractor's own contact email, published right on the board record. Sweep the whole state or target a city, classification, company, or license number. JSON or CSV out, billed per lead.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

• Emails come standard — unlike most licensing boards, LSLBC publishes each contractor's contact email on the record itself. In testing, ~100% of active company records carried one. No enrichment step, no guessing, no extra charge: it's in boardEmail on every row that has it.
• License-verified, not directory-scraped — every lead comes from the board's own registry, so the license number, classification, status, and expiry are authoritative at scrape time.
• Active-only by default — Expired / Not Active / Not Valid records are dropped before you pay for them (turn activeOnly off for compliance or historical research).
• Full-state sweep built in — run it empty and it walks a bundled list of ~1,150 Louisiana place names, metro areas first. No URL hunting.
• Four license types, cleanly filterable — Commercial, Residential, Home Improvement, and Mold Remediation, each selectable in the input.
• Optional extra enrichment — for the minority of records without a board email, enrichEmails discovers the business's website and harvests one, and qualifyByPayment flags Stripe/e-commerce signals.
• New-license monitoring — flip monitoringMode on a schedule and each run returns only contractors licensed since your last run.
• Zero setup — US residential proxy is built in; the registry is public, no login or CAPTCHA involved.

🎯 Use cases

Who	What they do with it
Building-materials & equipment suppliers	Build ready-to-email lists of active licensed contractors by city and license type — company, phone, address, and email all in one row
SaaS & fintech selling to contractors	Feed license-verified accounts straight into outbound; qualifyByPayment flags who transacts online
Insurance, bonding & lending	Verify license status and expiration before quoting
Recruiters & M&A scouts	Map every commercial or residential contractor in a metro; monitor newly licensed firms as expansion signals
GCs & developers	Verify subs' licenses in bulk from a license-number list before award

📥 Supported inputs

Mode	Input	Behaviour
Full-state sweep (default)	(empty input)	Walks the bundled LA place list, biggest cities first
City sweep	cities: ["New Orleans", "Baton Rouge"]	Exact match on the licensee's mailing-address city
Classification filter	classifications: ["Residential License Certificate"]	One of the four LSLBC license types
Company search	companyNames: ["electric"]	Board-side substring match on company name
Name search	lastName (+ optional firstName)	License-holder name lookup
License lookup	licenseNumbers: ["CL.13827"]	Direct verification; accepts full numbers or bare digits
Phone lookup	phoneNumber	Phone number on record

Not supported: other states or boards. This actor covers the LSLBC commercial/residential/home-improvement/mold registry — Louisiana keeps some trades (e.g. plumbing, electrical journeymen) on separate boards.

🔄 How it works

1. Builds search jobs from your criteria — or the full-state city list when the input is empty.
2. Queries the board's live roster for each job and parses the result rows (license #, classification, holder, standing).
3. Filters inactive licenses (default) and duplicates before any per-lead fetching, so you never pay for records you filtered out.
4. Fetches each license's detail record — company, address, phone, board email, status, expiry — in parallel.
5. Optionally enriches the minority of rows without a board email (website discovery + contact-email harvesting; qualifyByPayment adds payment signals).
6. Pushes one row per license to the dataset.

📊 Output overview

One dataset row per license. The row merges the roster entry and the board's detail record — including the native boardEmail — with no separate or padding rows. isActive is computed from the authoritative detail status, and searchCity records which sweep query surfaced the lead.

❓ FAQ

Do I really get an email for every lead? For active company records, almost always — LSLBC publishes the contact email on the record and our testing found one on ~100% of them. Some individual registrations and older records omit it; for those, turn on enrichEmails to try to recover one. boardEmail is the board's own value; contactEmail is the best available (board email first, enriched email as fallback).

How complete is the full-state sweep? The board's search matches on each licensee's mailing-address city. The bundled sweep list covers ~1,150 Louisiana municipalities and place names, so in-state coverage is effectively complete; licensees who mail from out of state are only found via company/name/license searches.

Why fewer leads than the roster shows? activeOnly (default on) drops Expired / Not Active / Not Valid licenses — on this board that's a large share of historical records. Set it to false to get everything.

How is this different from a license-lookup tool? Lookups verify one license number at a time. This sweeps the whole roster (or a city/classification slice), returns one clean row per contractor with the email attached, and can monitor for newly licensed firms on a schedule.

Is this legal to scrape? The registry is a public government licensing record intended for license verification by the public. The actor accesses only those public pages, politely. See the Disclaimer below for your responsibilities.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

This actor is MCP-ready: call it from agent frameworks via the Apify MCP server, or hit it with a single API call and read the dataset as clean JSON. The row schema is stable and flat where it matters (licenseNumber, businessName, phone, boardEmail, address.city, isActive), so it drops straight into RAG pipelines, lead-qualification agents, and compliance-check tools. Typical agent patterns: "verify this LA contractor's license" (pass licenseNumbers), "find active residential contractors in Baton Rouge with emails" (pass cities + classifications), or a scheduled "alert me on newly licensed contractors" loop (monitoringMode).
