US Professional License Lookup & Verification API
Pricing
from $4.00 / 1,000 license records
Look up and verify professional licenses by name or license number from official public records: Texas TDLR, Florida DBPR, Colorado DORA, Washington DOH and the federal NPI Registry. Normalized status, expiration and discipline flags. Pay per license record.
One license query per line, parsed leniently: "TX:3365:Master Electrician" (state:number[:type]), "FL:SEC17708", "name:Jane Smith:FL" (name limited to a state), "name:Jane Smith" (name across every enabled source), "npi:1003000126" (NPI number), "npi:Jane Smith:TX" (NPI by name). Use "Lookups (structured)" for city or exact fields. The prefilled values are the cheap, always-available examples used by Apify's daily automated test.
Optional JSON array of query objects: [{"state": "TX", "licenseNumber": "3365", "licenseType": "Master Electrician"}, {"state": "CO", "name": "Smith, John", "licenseType": "RN"}, {"board": "NPI", "name": "Mayo Clinic", "state": "MN"}]. Fields: state, licenseNumber, name (person "Last, First" / "First Last" or business), licenseType, city, board (TDLR, DBPR, DORA, DOH, NPI). Combined with "Queries".
lookup = return every matching license record. verify = same records plus verified (true only when the license is found, status is ACTIVE and it is not expired) and verificationNotes.
Which official public sources to query. A query with a state only hits that state's board(s); a query with no state hits every enabled source; board "NPI" (or a bare 10-digit number) hits the federal NPI Registry.
[ "TX_TDLR", "FL_DBPR", "CO_DORA", "WA_DOH", "NPI"]Cap on license records returned for one query across all sources (1–200). Name searches on common names can match hundreds of licenses; narrow them with a state, license type or city.
Upper bound on dataset items per run (license records, not-found results and error items). Use together with the run's maximum cost to control spend.
For schedules: remember every license seen per query in the state store and emit only records whose status or expiration date changed, plus licenses that appeared or disappeared (changeType new / changed / removed). The first run is a baseline and emits (and charges for) everything; later runs charge one monitor re-check per query.
Named key-value store that holds the monitor snapshots. Use a different name per schedule if two schedules share queries.
Free app token from any Socrata open-data portal (e.g. data.texas.gov → Developer Settings). Raises the per-IP rate limit for the Texas, Colorado and Washington datasets; not required for small runs. Stored encrypted and never logged.
How many queries run in parallel (1–5). Each source is still rate-limited to about one request per second.
