# Verify a Texas electrician license with TDLR

**Use case:** 

Check whether a Texas master electrician license is active and when it expires, from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation's public open-data records. Returns the license holder, type, county, expiration date, a verified true/false flag and plain-English verification notes. Swap in your own TDLR license numbers to verify contractors in bulk.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [US Professional License Lookup & Verification API](https://apify.com/owlabee/us-license-verifier.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/owlabee/us-license-verifier.md

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`).
