Arizona ROC Contractor License Scraper

Free-plan limit: Apify free-plan users receive at most 5 delivered license records per run. Paid and agentic-payment runs may use the configured maxResults limit.

Scrape the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (AZ ROC) public license database for full contractor license records. Search by license number, business name, qualifying party, or city — get status, classifications, bonds, complaints, personnel, and full contact details in structured JSON. Full pagination is supported across every results page. No login required.

Use cases

• Contractor verification — confirm a contractor is licensed and in good standing before hiring or paying a deposit
• Compliance monitoring — detect newly expired, suspended, or revoked licenses for vendor lists on recurring schedules
• Lead generation — build targeted lists of licensed Arizona contractors by city, classification, or active status
• Subcontractor sourcing — find qualified subcontractors by specialty classification (B-1, C-37, R-11, CR-39) and region
• Insurance underwriting — score contractors using complaint history, bond status, and surety coverage
• Due diligence — check complaint and disciplinary records before signing contracts
• Market research — analyze contractor density by city/classification, track new-license issuance trends
• Consumer protection — surface complaint counts and outcomes for homeowner pre-payment checks

Input

The actor supports four search modes. Use any one or combine multiple in a single run:

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
licenseNumbers	array	no	[]	Direct license-number lookup (fastest). Example: ["333282", "123456"]
companyNames	array	no	[]	Business names (partial match supported). Example: ["Desert HVAC", "Acme Plumbing"]
qualifyingPartyNames	array	no	[]	Qualifying party names. Example: ["John Smith"]
cities	array	no	[]	Arizona cities for region-based search. Example: ["Phoenix", "Tucson", "Scottsdale"]
licenseType	select	no	"ALL"	ALL, RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, DUAL
licenseStatus	select	no	"ALL"	ALL, ACTIVE, SUSPENDED, EXPIRED, REVOKED, CANCELLED
licenseClassification	string	no	""	Filter by AZ ROC classification code (e.g. "B-1", "C-37", "R-11", "CR-39")
scrapeDetailPage	boolean	no	false	Open each detail page for bond, complaint, and personnel data (slower)
scrapeComplaints	boolean	no	false	Include per-complaint records (requires scrapeDetailPage)
maxResults	integer	no	100	Hard cap on records returned across all search jobs. 0 = unlimited
resultsPerPage	select	no	"50"	10, 20, or 50 (50 minimises pagination)
maxConcurrency	integer	no	3	Parallel browser tabs. Keep ≤ 5 for residential proxies
customProxyUrl	string	no	""	Optional custom proxy URL that overrides the Actor-managed DataImpulse residential proxy

At least one search mode is required.

Example inputs

License number lookup:

{
    "licenseNumbers": ["333282", "123456"],
    "maxResults": 2
}

Business name search:

{
    "companyNames": ["Desert HVAC"],
    "licenseStatus": "ACTIVE",
    "maxResults": 50
}

City lead generation with classification filter:

{
    "cities": ["Phoenix", "Tucson"],
    "licenseClassification": "C-37",
    "licenseStatus": "ACTIVE",
    "maxResults": 200
}

Full enrichment with bonds and complaints:

{
    "companyNames": ["Desert HVAC"],
    "scrapeDetailPage": true,
    "scrapeComplaints": true,
    "maxResults": 25
}

Output

Each record contains the full public record for one contractor license. When scrapeDetailPage is false (default), the fast list view populates license number, business name, qualifying party, classification, status, city, and phone. When true, bond details, complaint history, all classifications, and personnel are also collected.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. These are the current Apify Store event prices:

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
license-record	$0.003	License Record — Charged once per license record scraped.
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	Actor Start — Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event). — Charged once per run.

Technical notes

• Residential proxy: The AZ ROC portal is a Salesforce Experience Cloud (LWC/Aura) site with bot protection that can challenge datacenter IP pools. The Actor-managed route uses US-targeted DataImpulse residential proxy. For a different provider, supply its proxy URL through customProxyUrl.
• Salesforce LWC rendering: The portal uses Lightning Web Components which render asynchronously. The actor waits for network idle plus a buffer, and uses multi-selector fallbacks on every field to survive LWC DOM changes between releases.
• Pagination: Full Next-button pagination is supported. The actor stops after 3 consecutive scrolls with no new results or at a 5,000-record safety cap per search.
• Detail-page enrichment: By default the actor uses the fast list view (one page load per search + per-record list extraction). Enable scrapeDetailPage to open each contractor's detail page for bond, complaint, and personnel data — roughly doubles runtime.
• Classification codes: See the AZ ROC classification list for all specialty codes. License type is inferred from the classification prefix: B-* → Commercial, R-* → Residential, C-* → Commercial, CR-* → Dual.
• Deduplication: Records are deduplicated by license number within a single run.

Integration

Export scraped data, run the scraper via API, schedule and monitor runs, or integrate with other tools. The output dataset is compatible with:

• CSV/JSON/Excel export from Apify Console
• Zapier and Make webhooks
• Direct API access via Apify REST API
• CRM import (HubSpot, Salesforce) with field mapping
• AI agent tool calls via Apify MCP server — the actor exposes a single license-record event with structured JSON output suitable for LLM consumption
