Arizona Contractor License Lookup & Leads Scraper (ROC)

Pain points

• ROC's contractor search answers one name or licence at a time, and a city or classification search stops at about 1,000 contractors, so Phoenix's 9,162 active licences cannot be listed from it.
• ROC's statewide Posting List has every active licence with a street address but no phone number, and it is a 12 MB CSV you re-download and filter yourself every time it changes.
• The phone and the people behind a licence (owners, officers, qualifying party) are only on the search side, so a list with both means matching two sources by licence number.

What we solve

• Export the whole state, or the slice you need, in one run: filter by classification code or trade word, license type, city, ZIP, name or Arizona-only addresses, each with a batch list.
• Each exported licence is matched to ROC's contractor search by licence number for its phone and principals, and every row says whether that match landed.
• Verify licences in bulk: a list of licence numbers or names returns each licence's current status, including suspended, expired and revoked ones the Posting List leaves out.

Summary

Arizona contractor licences from the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC), two ways. Export mode reads ROC's official Posting List — every active licence in the state, 58,184 on 2026-10-07 — and filters it by classification (R-42, CR-11, or a word like 'roofing'), license type, city, ZIP or name, adding each licence's business phone and principals from ROC's own contractor search. Lookup mode takes licence numbers or business/person names and returns every matching licence with its status, class, qualifying party, phone and city. Pay per licence returned.

Who it's for

• Sales teams selling materials, equipment, insurance or software to Arizona contractors
• Lead-generation agencies building trade-specific contractor lists by city or ZIP
• General contractors and suppliers sourcing licensed subcontractors near a job
• Compliance, insurance and lending teams verifying ROC licence status in bulk

Inputs

Field	Required	Type	Default	Description
query	no	string	—	An ROC licence number ('333473' or 'ROC 333473'), a business name ('Arcadia Roofing'), or a person's name written FIRST then LAST ('Tommy Leale'). Leave empty to run an export instead.
queries	no	array	[]	Several lookups in ONE run, one per line. Combined with the field above if you fill both.
classification	no	string	—	An ROC class code ('R-42', 'CR-11', 'B', 'KB-1') or a word from the class name ('roofing' = every *-42 Roofing class, 'electrical', 'swimming pools'). A value that matches no class on the list is dropped and logged.
classifications	no	array	[]	Several classifications in ONE export, e.g. R-39 and CR-39.
licenseClassType	no	string	—	Residential, Commercial, Dual, General or Specialty — matched against ROC's class type ('Specialty Dual', 'General Residential', ...).
licenseClassTypes	no	array	[]	Several license types in ONE export.
city	no	string	—	Mailing-address city, exact match ignoring case and punctuation, e.g. 'Scottsdale'. ROC lists licences by mailing address, not by where the contractor works.
cities	no	array	[]	Several cities in ONE export.
zipCode	no	string	—	5-digit mailing ZIP, e.g. '85018'.
zipCodes	no	array	[]	Several ZIP codes in ONE export.
nameFilter	no	string	—	Case-insensitive text in the business name, DBA or qualifying party.
nameFilters	no	array	[]	Several name fragments in ONE export; a licence matching any of them is returned once.
arizonaAddressesOnly	no	boolean	false	Out-of-state contractors can hold an ROC licence: 9,336 of 58,184 active licences (16%, 2026-10-07) have a mailing address outside Arizona. Tick to drop them.
includePhone	no	boolean	true	The posting list has no phone column. When ticked, each exported licence is matched to ROC's contractor search for its phone and the people on the licence (owners, officers, qualifying party). Adds time, not cost. Rows that could not be matched say so in enrichment_status.
maxResults	no	integer	500	EXPORT: cap on licences for the WHOLE run — your spend control (58,184 active licences on 2026-10-07; set 100000 to take everything that matches). LOOKUP: cap per name or number (default 50).
proxyConfiguration	no	object	{"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US"}	Used only to download the statewide posting list in EXPORT mode, and only if the direct download is refused (ROC's Cloudflare blocks datacenter IPs). Residential is the setting that works; lookups never use it.

Pricing (Pay Per Event)

You pay per result (dataset-item) — no charge for empty runs. Example: 244 Phoenix roofing contractors at $0.004/result ≈ $0.98.

The default export (500 licences) costs $2.00; the whole state (58,184 active licences on 2026-10-07) costs $232.74 at maxResults 100000. Apify platform usage, including residential proxy traffic for the export download, is billed separately.

Use cases

• Territory prospecting: export every roofing and HVAC contractor in Phoenix, Mesa and Scottsdale with phone and street address for a CRM.
• Statewide list build: take all active licences once, then re-run monthly and compare issue dates to catch new licensees.
• Subcontractor sourcing: list R-11/CR-11 electrical or CR-37 plumbing contractors in a ZIP before sending bid invitations.
• Vendor compliance: run your vendors' ROC numbers as a lookup batch and flag any that are suspended, expired or revoked.

Why this actor

• Phone on 57,999 of the 58,184 active licences (99.7%), principals on 58,163 and street address on 58,178, in one statewide run of 464 s (measured 2026-10-11).
• Straight from ROC's two official public sources, read fresh on every run: the Posting List for the full active roster and the contractor search for phone, principals and non-active statuses.
• Filter by class code or trade word, license type, city, ZIP or name; a value it does not recognise is dropped and logged, never silently widened to the whole state.
• Pay per licence returned; outage and bad-input notices are free.

Limitations & updates

Exports cover active licences only, because ROC's Posting List holds only those; use a lookup for suspended, expired, revoked or cancelled licences. The Posting List is refreshed by ROC every few days (the 2026-10-11 run read the file dated 2026-10-07), so a licence issued since then appears in lookups but not yet in exports. ROC files licences by mailing address, so a city or ZIP filter finds where the contractor's mail goes, not where they work. Phone comes from ROC's contractor search: 7 of 58,184 licences had no account there on 2026-10-11, and 178 accounts carry no phone. Lookups return city, state and ZIP but no street address or licence dates. No email: ROC publishes none. The export download goes through a residential proxy when ROC's Cloudflare refuses the direct request, and that traffic is billed by Apify as platform usage.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

From the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC). Export mode downloads ROC's Posting List (roc.az.gov/posting-list), the official CSV of every active licence; lookups and the phone/principals match use ROC's public contractor search (azroc.my.site.com). Both are read on every run.

How many licences are there?

58,184 active licences on the 2026-10-07 Posting List, across 157 classifications. Largest: KB-2 Dual Residential and Small Commercial 4,331, B General Residential 3,971, KB-1 Dual Building 3,617, B-1 General Commercial 3,028, CR-11 Electrical 2,990. Largest cities: Phoenix 9,162, Tucson 4,835, Mesa 4,010, Scottsdale 2,597.

Lookup or export — which do I use?

Lookup when you have licence numbers or names and want their current status: fill 'License number or name' (or the batch list). Export when you want a list: leave that field empty and set filters. Lookups cover every status; exports cover active licences only, because the Posting List holds only those.

How do I name a classification?

By ROC code ('R-42', 'CR-11', 'B', 'KB-1' — exact, case and dash optional) or by a word from the class name ('roofing' returns C-42, R-42 and CR-42; 'electrical' every electrical class). R is residential, C commercial and CR dual. A value that matches no class on the list is dropped and logged.

Does it include out-of-state contractors?

Yes: 9,336 of the 58,184 active licences (16.0%) have a mailing address outside Arizona, most often California (2,662), Texas (937) and Utah (657). Tick 'Arizona mailing addresses only' to drop them. ROC lists licences by mailing address, not by where the contractor works.

Why is phone missing on some rows?

The Posting List has no phone column, so each exported licence is matched to ROC's contractor search by licence number. enrichment_status says what happened on that row: matched, not_found (the search had no account for it), skipped_time_budget (a very large export ran out of time) or source_unavailable. Untick 'Add phone + principals' for the fastest export.

How am I charged?

$0.004 per licence returned. The default export returns 500 licences ($2.00); Phoenix roofing contractors were 244 ($0.98) on 2026-10-11. Rows explaining an outage or an unrecognised filter are free.

Works with AI assistants (MCP)

Callable as an MCP tool, so Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot and other MCP clients can run it directly. Grab the config from the MCP tab on this page — Apify hosts the server and keeps that snippet current, and OAuth signs you in on first connect, so no API token goes in your config file.

Then just ask:

"List the active Arizona roofing contractors with a Phoenix mailing address, with phone and qualifying party."

That input returned 244 licences on 2026-10-11. With no filters and no name it exports the whole state (58,184 licences), so set a classification or city before running it from an agent. Runs started this way bill exactly like any other run.
