California Cannabis Dispensary Data

▶ Watch the 30-second overview:

Official California cannabis dispensary and license data, merged from the state's official license registry and major platforms (Weedmaps, Leafly, and more) into one deduplicated dataset.

This is the single-state edition of our multi-state Cannabis Dispensary Monitor, the same data quality, change detection, trend tracking, and self-healing source monitoring, scoped to California at a lower price. If you need multiple states, the full Actor covers 47 US states and territories plus all of Canada.

What you get

• Every licensed California dispensary, deduplicated across the state's official registry and platform listings
• License number, status, and issue/expiry dates where the state publishes them
• Contact email, scraped from each dispensary's own website when the source doesn't already publish one
• Change detection: new openings, closures, and license changes flagged every run
• Historical trend tracking and market intelligence computed automatically
• Self-monitoring: a source going silently dead gets flagged the same run, not weeks later

Sample output

Real California records from this Actor's dataset. "Source" shows whether the row came from the state's official registry or a platform listing, illustrating the merge:

Name	City	Source	License #
BLUE MOUNTAIN COLLECTIVE, INC.	San Andreas	State DCC (official)	C10-0000007-LIC
Creekside Wellness, Inc.	Boulder Creek	State DCC (official)	C10-0000008-LIC
1841 El Camino	Sacramento	State DCC (official)	C10-0000009-LIC

How to use it

1. Open the Input tab (every run is already scoped to California).
2. For a recurring feed, turn on Monitor mode (onlyOutputChanges) and add a webhookUrl to get new openings and license changes as they happen.
3. Click Start. The first run builds a baseline; each later run reports what changed.
4. Download from the Output tab as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull via the Apify API.

Input

Same input options as the full Actor (sources, proxy configuration, menu data, webhooks, etc.); see the Input tab for details. The states field is locked to CA in this edition.

Integrations, plug it into your stack

• Make, Zapier, and n8n, Apify ships official connectors, so a finished run can trigger a scenario and drop the data into Google Sheets, Airtable, a CRM, or Slack with no code.
• Webhooks, set the webhookUrl input to POST new-opening, closure, and license-change events for California in real time, to Slack, your own API, or a no-code webhook trigger.
• API and scheduling, run on a schedule from the Apify Console, or call the Apify API and pull the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Pricing

Pay-per-result: you are billed only for records written to the dataset. A California pull is a small, bounded dataset, and in monitor mode each run bills only what changed, so a scheduled monitor costs pennies.
