TDI Texas Insurance License Scraper

TDI Texas Insurance License Scraper

Scrape Texas insurance license records for agents, adjusters, and agencies, filtered by license type, state, or city. Get official licensee details including name, license number, status, and expiration date. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) licensee database holds official records for every insurance agent, adjuster, and agency in the state, but manual searches and one-off lookups waste time on compliance checks and lead lists. This scraper pulls that data into one structured dataset so analysts, recruiters, and agencies get current, filterable results without typing names into the TDI search form. Choose the agent or agency dataset, set your filters, and collect up to a million records per run.

What it does

This Actor collects agent, adjuster, and agency license records from the Texas Department of Insurance and returns each licensee as a flat row.

• 🏢 Agent and agency datasets: pull individual agents and adjusters, or corporate agencies and businesses, from separate TDI record sets.
• 🔎 License type filter: narrow agent results to General Lines Agent, Adjuster, Life Agent, and 30 other license types, or filter agencies by General Lines Agency, Title Agency, and more.
• 🗺️ Location filters: restrict records by mailing address state, city (exact match), or postal code prefix so you build a geographically targeted list.
• 📛 Name and identifier search: look up a single licensee by name substring, Texas license number, or National Producer Number (NPN), or combine name search with other filters.
• ✅ Active license enforcement: toggle a checkbox to return only licensees whose expiration date is still in the future, or include expired records for historical analysis.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

A first run with the defaults:

 "maxItems": 10,
 "dataset": "agents"
}

A larger pull:

{
 "maxItems": 200,
 "dataset": "agents"
}

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your filters are not too restrictive. A city and a license type together might yield zero matches. Try running with only the dataset and maxItems set to a small number first, then add filters one by one.

I searched by license number but got no record.

Verify the license number is entered without spaces or dashes. If the number is correct, ensure the Dataset selection matches the licensee type. An agency license number will not return a result when the Dataset is set to Agents and adjusters.

The actor returns fewer records than maxItems I set.

This means the combination of your filters and the available TDI records produced fewer matching results than the maxItems value you entered. Try relaxing your filters or increasing maxItems to see if more records are available.

Active licenses only setting returns no results, but I know the licensee is active.

TDI data can have a small delay in updating expiration dates. If a license was recently renewed, the expiration date field may still show the old value. Temporarily uncheck Active licenses only to confirm the record exists, then check the expiration date field manually.

I got an error when filtering by postal code.

The Postal code filter accepts only the numeric prefix. Remove any spaces or the full ZIP+4 suffix. If you want ZIPs that start with 770, enter 770 and nothing else.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What is the Texas Department of Insurance licensee database?	It is the official public directory of individuals and businesses licensed to sell, solicit, or adjust insurance in Texas. TDI maintains it under Texas Insurance Code requirements, and this Actor reads the same records you would see in the online search tool.
How do I pull only General Lines Agents in Houston?	Set the dataset to Agents and adjusters. Choose General Lines Agent from the license type dropdown, enter HOUSTON in the City field, and set Active licenses only to true. Run the Actor and you will get matching records.
Does this scraper return agency records, not individual agents?	Yes. Use the Dataset dropdown to switch from Agents and adjusters to Agencies and businesses. The license type filter then shows agency-specific categories like Title Agency and General Lines Agency.
Can I look up a single agent by their Texas license number?	Yes. Enter the full license number, such as 3340665, in the License number field and leave other filters blank. The run returns one matching record if the number exists in the TDI system.
What is an NPN and can I search by it?	The National Producer Number is a unique identifier assigned to insurance producers through the NAIC. Enter an NPN in the dedicated field to retrieve the corresponding licensee directly from TDI.
How do I get only licenses that have not expired?	Check the Active licenses only box. The Actor then filters out any record whose expiration date is before the current date, returning only currently valid licenses.
Can I search by ZIP code?	You can filter by postal code prefix using the Postal code field. Entering 770 returns all licensees whose mailing address ZIP begins with 770, covering most of central Houston.
What license types are available for agents?	The dropdown includes General Lines Agent, Adjuster, Life Agent, Surplus Lines Agent, Escrow Officer, Public Insurance Adjuster, Managing General Agent, Reinsurance Broker, and many temporary and limited-line types, 30 categories in total.
Can I scrape agents outside Texas?	You can filter by mailing address state. The State dropdown includes all U.S. states and territories, but the license itself is issued by TDI and is a Texas license regardless of the mailing address.
What output formats does this Actor support?	The default dataset exports to CSV, JSON, Excel, and XML. You pick the format when you download the results from your Apify run.
