Louisiana Contractor License Lookup & Leads Scraper (LSLBC)

Pain points

• The LSLBC roster lists one row per classification per qualifying party, so a single contractor can appear many times over.
• Turning that raw roster into one row per license - deduped, and filtered by parish, trade or status - is the actual work.
• Compiling Louisiana contractors by parish, trade, or status by hand doesn't scale.

What we solve

• Download the entire Louisiana LSLBC roster — 50,000+ commercial, residential, and specialty licenses — in one run.
• Get clean structured JSON: company, classifications, qualifying party, parish, status, dates, phone, and email.
• Filter by license type, status, or parish; pay per record returned, never for empty results.
• Verify licences in bulk: a list of LSLBC licence numbers, company names or qualifying-party names returns each matching licence, active or expired, with its expiration date.

Summary

Louisiana contractor licences from the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) roster, active and expired. Export mode returns the roster statewide — 50,000+ records — filtered by licence type, status or parish. Lookup mode takes licence numbers, company names or qualifying-party names and returns each matching licence with its status and expiration date. Every row has the company name, classifications, qualifying parties, parish, status, dates, phone, and email.

Who it's for

• Lead-gen and B2B sales teams targeting Louisiana contractors
• Building-material suppliers and distributors prospecting by trade and parish
• Insurance underwriters and surety/bond agencies sizing the LA contractor market
• Background-check, compliance, and license-verification vendors

Inputs

Field	Required	Type	Default	Description
query	no	string	—	An LSLBC licence number ('68755'), or part of a company name or a qualifying party's name, matched as typed anywhere in the name ('09 Construction'; 'Kent Gardner' finds Kent Gardner Jones). Active and expired licences are both searched. 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.
contractorTypes	no	array	["commercial", "residential", "home_improvement", "mold_remediation"]	Which license types to include, in an export or a lookup. Leave empty for all four types. (values: commercial, residential, home_improvement, mold_remediation)
statusFilter	no	string	—	Only return licenses with this exact status (e.g. "Active", "Expired"). Leave blank for all.
parishFilter	no	string	—	Only return licenses in this Louisiana parish (e.g. "Orleans", "Jefferson"). Leave blank for all.
maxResults	no	integer	500	EXPORT: cap on unique licence records for the WHOLE run (default 500) — your spend control. LOOKUP: cap per name or number (default 50).

Pricing (Pay Per Event)

You pay per result (dataset-item) — no charge for empty runs. Example: 500 license records at $0.004/result ≈ $2.00.

Illustrative — final per-result price set at publish time; Apify platform usage billed separately.

Use cases

• Build lead lists of active Louisiana contractors by trade, parish, or license type for B2B sales and marketing
• Verify contractor license status and expiration before awarding subcontracts or insurance coverage
• Enrich construction-industry databases with qualifying-party names, classifications, and contact details

Why this actor

• Straight from the official LSLBC roster — authoritative, regularly refreshed, not a stale third-party copy.
• Whole-database export or a batch of lookups in the same actor; filter by contractor type, status, or parish.
• Pay per record returned; filtered runs that match nothing are free.

Limitations & updates

Data reflects the LSLBC public roster at time of run; license status changes are only captured on the next run. Every run, a lookup included, downloads the full roster CSVs of the selected licence types, so unfiltered exports are larger and slower than filtered ones. Name lookups match the text as typed inside the company or qualifying-party name.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

The official Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) public roster — authoritative license data, no third-party copy.

Can I get the whole state?

Yes — it returns the full LSLBC roster (50,000+ licenses), not a sample. Use the filters to narrow it.

Can I check specific contractors instead of the whole state?

Yes — put licence numbers or names in 'License numbers or names (batch)'. Each matching licence comes back with its status and expiration date, and matched_by says whether the number, the company name or a qualifying party matched. A name that matches nothing returns one free no_match row.

What can I filter by?

Contractor type (commercial, residential, home improvement, mold remediation), status, and parish. Use maxResults to bound a run.

What fields do I get?

License number, company name, status, contractor type, parish, city, phone, email, classifications, and qualifying party.

How is it priced?

Per record returned (a dataset item). Filtered runs that match no records 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 Louisiana commercial and residential contractors with their classifications."

Louisiana rows carry the parish, the licence classifications and the qualifying party, plus an email address where the board publishes one. Runs started this way bill exactly like any other run.

Data & lawful use

This actor collects publicly available information that the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors publishes for public lookup — licence records, business listings and the contact details professionals list there. Some of it identifies individuals (sole proprietors, licence holders, agents), so treat any names, phone numbers and emails in your results as personal data.

When you run this actor, you decide what is collected and what it is used for, so you are the controller of that data and we act only as your processor (Apify Standard Actor Contract). You need a lawful basis for your use, must honour opt-out and deletion requests, and must follow the marketing rules that apply to you (CAN-SPAM, TCPA, GDPR, CCPA and similar). Don't use the output for unsolicited bulk messaging, for screening covered by the FCRA, or for anything the source's own terms forbid.

Your results are stored in your own Apify account. We don't keep a copy of your results and don't sell or share them.
