❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the data come from?

From licenseesearch.fldfs.com, the Florida Department of Financial Services' official insurance licensee search portal.

How does pagination work?

The actor maintains a session with the FL DFS server (CSRF + cookie) and pulls 20 records per page. Set maxItems to fetch as many pages as you need.

Can I search across all FL counties at once?

Yes. Leave city empty to span every FL county; filter by name only.

Are appointment carriers included?

Carrier appointments are on the FL DFS detail page (visible in the official site) but are not exposed to the bulk search response. Each licensee record includes a license number you can use for follow-up lookups.

How fresh is the data?

Records are scraped in real time. FL DFS refreshes the database on every license action.
