The most complete US liquor and alcohol license scraper available. It returns every field the state alcohol beverage register exposes for each retail license, including the licensee and trade name, license number and type, status, full business and mailing address, county, and key dates, plus the most recent monthly mixed-beverage sales receipts where reported, and gives you four filters to target exactly the licenses you need.

What it does

The actor queries the public state alcohol beverage license register, applies the filters you pass as input, paginates through the matching licenses, and writes one normalized record per license to the run's dataset. For each license it also looks up the most recent reported monthly mixed-beverage gross receipts (liquor, wine, beer, cover charge, and total) and joins them onto the record where available. Dates are normalized to YYYY-MM-DD (except statusChangeDate, kept as the full ISO timestamp from the source), receipts are returned as numbers, and missing source values are returned as null.

Data covers the Texas alcohol beverage license register, which lists retail liquor and alcohol licenses issued in the state. It is public data, so no account or API key is required.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the 10 most recent licenses matching Kroger.

{
  "searchQueries": ["Kroger"],
  "maxLicenses": 10
}

Leave searchQueries empty to scan all licenses filtered by the other fields. Every input field is optional; with an empty input the actor pulls licenses with no keyword filter (default maxLicenses is 10).

Input reference

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	no	["Kroger"]	Business, trade (DBA) or owner names to search for. One search runs per entry. Leave empty to scan all licenses. Example: ["Kroger", "Walmart"].
cities	string[]	no	(empty)	Keep only licenses in these cities (exact city name). Case-insensitive. Example: ["Austin", "Houston"].
licenseTypes	string[]	no	(empty)	Keep only these license type codes (for example MB, BG, BQ, Q, P). Leave empty for all types.
status	string	no	(empty)	Keep only licenses whose status contains this text (for example Active, Expired, Surrendered).
maxLicenses	integer	no	10	Maximum number of licenses to collect across the whole run. Minimum 1, maximum 1000000.

Filters combine with logical AND. If you pass no filters at all, the actor returns the most recent licenses.

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~usa-liquor-licenses-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["Kroger"],"cities":["Houston"],"maxLicenses":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~usa-liquor-licenses-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"licenseTypes":["MB"],"status":"Active","maxLicenses":100}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/usa-liquor-licenses-scraper \
  --input '{"searchQueries":["Walmart"]}'

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 record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• 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 in the source. Loosen filters (for example remove cities or status), or confirm the keyword appears in the licensee, trade, or owner name. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Which state does this cover? The Texas alcohol beverage license register, which lists retail liquor and alcohol licenses issued in the state.

Why are the monthly receipts fields null? Monthly mixed-beverage gross receipts are reported only for certain license types (typically mixed-beverage permits) and only after a reporting period closes. When no receipts are on file for a license, those fields are returned as null, never invented.

What is the difference between licensee name and trade name? licenseeName is the legal owner or entity that holds the license; tradeName is the doing-business-as / premises name the public sees.

Can I search several names in one run? Yes. Pass multiple entries in searchQueries; one search runs per entry and all results are merged into the dataset.

Is this an official state tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with any state alcohol beverage agency. It reads only data that is publicly available. Use it in accordance with the source's terms of service.
