What it does

The actor queries New York State's public cannabis license dataset (published by the Office of Cannabis Management), applies the filters you pass as input, paginates through the matching businesses, and writes one normalized record per license to the run's dataset. You can search free text across the whole record or filter by license type, status, county and city.

Each record carries the business and legal entity names, the DBA, the license type/status with their codes, the application number, the full and split address with county and region, the business website, the primary contact, hours of operation, social-equity category, key dates and the cultivation/processing/retail activity lists. Missing source values are returned as null or empty arrays, never invented.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 10 licensed cannabis businesses across New York State.

{
  "maxLicenses": 10
}

Add filters to narrow: set licenseType to Adult-Use Retail Dispensary License, licenseStatus to Active, or county to Kings. Use query for a free-text search across name, address, city and county. Every field is optional.

Input reference

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
maxLicenses	integer	no	10	Maximum license records to collect. Leave empty to collect every match.
query	string	no	(empty)	Free-text search across business name, trade name (DBA), address, city or county, for example green, brooklyn, farm.

county	string	no	(empty)	Match a New York county, for example Kings, Queens, New York, Erie, Monroe.
city	string	no	(empty)	Match a city or town, for example Brooklyn, Buffalo, Albany.
appToken	string	no	(empty)	Optional free Socrata app token to raise the rate limit for very large pulls. The dataset is keyless without it.
enrichContacts	boolean	no	false	Paid add-on. For each business without an email, attempt to find a public business contact email and person. Billed per attempt, plus an extra charge only when an email is found.
enrichContactsMax	integer	no	50	Cap how many results the add-on tries to enrich. Free Apify accounts are capped at 3.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~ny-cannabis-licenses-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"licenseType":"Adult-Use Retail Dispensary License","licenseStatus":"Active","maxLicenses":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~ny-cannabis-licenses-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"county":"Kings","maxLicenses":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/ny-cannabis-licenses-scraper \
  --input '{"query":"brooklyn"}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per license record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Contact enrichment add-on. The optional enrichContacts add-on bills per attempt, plus an extra charge only when an email is found.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxLicenses.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The filter combination matched nothing. Loosen filters (remove county or licenseType) or clear query. Zero-result runs are not charged.

How do I get only dispensaries? Set licenseType to Adult-Use Retail Dispensary License (or the conditional variant). Combine with licenseStatus set to Active for operating stores.

How do I search a neighborhood or name? Use query for free text across the record, or set city and county for a precise location match.

Do I need the Socrata app token? No. The dataset is keyless. A free appToken only raises the rate limit for very large pulls.

Why are some fields null? Not every business fills every field (for example new licensees may lack a website or hours). Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Is this an official New York State tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the New York State Office of Cannabis Management. It reads only data that is publicly available through the state's open data portal.
