Illinois Roofing Contractor Directory & Leads Scraper (IDFPR)

Search the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) public licensing dataset for licensed roofing contractor businesses. Filter by city, county, mailing state, ZIP, business name, or license number, then export deduplicated license and public discipline records.

The IDFPR dataset contains license and location details, not business websites, phone numbers, or email addresses. This Actor does not invent or infer those contact fields. It excludes qualifying-party records and individual-only license records so the default output stays focused on licensed businesses.

Free plan: up to 5 business records per run. Paid plan: request up to 5,000 records per run. The live total-charge cap can reduce that limit further.

Output

Each dataset item represents one unique licensed roofing contractor business and includes:

• Business name, DBA, license number, and IDFPR license status
• City, state, ZIP, and county from the public record
• Original issue, effective, expiration, and source last-modified dates
• IDFPR's historical discipline flag and any published case/action details
• The source dataset link and official IDFPR lookup page for verification

The source can contain multiple rows for a license when IDFPR lists several discipline actions. The Actor merges those rows into one business record and keeps each distinct discipline entry.

Input

Field	Default	Description
city	empty	Exact city in the public record
county	empty	Exact county, such as COOK
state	empty	Two-letter mailing-state filter; blank includes out-of-state businesses licensed in Illinois
zip	empty	Exact ZIP or ZIP+4
businessNameContains	empty	Partial match on the IDFPR business name or DBA
licenseNumber	empty	Exact license number; dots, spaces, and hyphens are ignored
includeInactiveStatuses	false	Include records with statuses other than ACTIVE
maxResults	50	Maximum unique businesses, from 1 to 5,000; free-plan runs are capped at 5
pageSize	500	Source API page size, from 1 to 1,000
maxRetries	2	Retries for temporary network, rate-limit, and server errors, from 0 to 3

With no filters, the Actor returns the first matching records in license-number order up to the effective limit. It uses the source's public JSON endpoint, applies bounded pagination, and stops when it reaches the result, request, or charge limit.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Platform usage for its run is included in the event price; the platform-usage pass-through option is disabled. A run start is charged once. A result event is charged automatically for each item successfully written to the default dataset.

Event	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD, PLATINUM, DIAMOND
Actor start	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005	$0.005
One IDFPR business record	$0.001	$0.000975	$0.00095	$0.0008

Representative FREE-tier event totals are $0.006 for one result and $0.010 for five results, before any account charges outside this Actor run. The configured total-charge cap is honored conservatively using the FREE-tier result price.

Source and verification

• IDFPR License Lookup information links to the public Professional Regulation lookup and the bulk-license data portal. IDFPR describes single lookups as updated daily and bulk lookup data as updated weekly.
• IDFPR Roofing Contractor page identifies the regulated license as “Roofing Contractor, Licensed.”
• Illinois Open Data: Professional Licensing is the dataset used by this Actor. Its public API provides the license, status, business, and mailing-location fields.
• Official IDFPR License Lookup should be used to verify current status for consequential decisions. The separate monthly Active License Report is informational and is not an official license verification.

The Actor filters the source to ROOFING CONTRACTOR, LICENSED ROOFING CONTRACTOR, and business records. It does not return the related “Qualifying Party Roofing Contractor” occupation as a business lead. Public source data can lag or change; use the official lookup for current verification.

Responsible use

This Actor retrieves public business licensing information from a State of Illinois open-data source. It does not access accounts, submit forms, solve CAPTCHAs, or collect private contact data. Use the records lawfully and follow applicable marketing and privacy requirements.
