Frequently Asked Questions

What data does the New York cannabis licenses scraper cover?
It covers licensed and applicant cannabis businesses across New York State from the Office of Cannabis Management: adult-use retail dispensaries, conditional retail dispensaries, microbusinesses, cultivators, processors, distributors, registered organization dispensaries and registered organizations. Each record includes the business, licence details, site address, county, website and the specific activities the licence authorizes.

Is the data current?
Yes. The source is refreshed daily, so a run reflects the current list of licence holders and applicants, including newly issued licences and newly opened dispensaries, not a stale archive.

How many businesses can I scrape in one run?
There is no fixed cap beyond the Max Items value you set. The scraper pages through the full statewide list, so you can pull the whole set of licensed businesses or narrow to a single county, city or licence type.

Can I filter by license type, status, county or city?
Yes. You can filter by licence type, licence status, county and city, and run a free text search across the business name, trade name and address. Filters combine, so you can narrow to, for example, active retail dispensaries in Kings county.

Does it include contact information?
Each record includes the full site address, county and, when the licensee provided it, a business website and published opening hours. Every business also carries its legal entity name and trade name, which is what makes the data useful for outreach and lead generation.
