❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the data come from?

From mqa-internet.doh.state.fl.us, the Florida Department of Health's official MQA Search Portal.

Why is fetchDetails slower?

When enabled, the actor fetches the verification page for each licensee to capture the original issue and expiration dates. Disable for fast bulk listings without those extra fields.

Can I search by license number?

The current input fields are name- and city-based. Use the verification URL to confirm a specific known license number.

Are there national equivalents?

Each U.S. state maintains its own provider registry. This actor covers Florida only.

How fresh is the data?

Records are scraped in real time. The Florida DOH updates the registry on every license action (issue, renewal, discipline).
