Why this license scraper?

Most "license verification" scrapers cover a single state board or a single profession, and many just re-scrape Google Maps business listings. This actor unifies four state licensing boards into one normalized dataset and lets you target any profession across all of them at once — the regulatory data that directories don't have (license number, official status, issue/expiration dates, disciplinary flags).

Filter by expiration (renewal-timing leads)	❌	✅
Disciplinary-action flag (DE)	❌	✅

Monitoring — only new/renewed licenses	❌	✅

Coverage

State	Source	Records	Highlights
Connecticut	DCP — State Licenses & Credentials	~2.6M	Full street address; all credentials
Colorado	DORA — Professional & Occupational Licenses	~1.6M	City + ZIP; official verify link
Texas	TDLR — All Licenses	~962K	Trades (HVAC, electrical, cosmetology…) + business/owner name
Delaware	DPR — Professional & Occupational Licensing	~350K	Disciplinary-action flag; license type

Use cases

• Lead generation — licensed professionals are active B2B buyers: they need insurance (E&O, liability, malpractice), CE courses, practice-management & CRM software, supplies, association membership, and financing. Target a profession (professionKeywords) and score the leads.
• Renewal-timing outreach — use expiringBefore to find licenses expiring soon — ideal for insurance renewals, continuing-education providers, and membership drives.
• Fresh-licensee prospecting — use issuedAfter (+ monitoring) to capture newly-licensed professionals the moment they appear.
• License verification & compliance — confirm a license number, status, and expiration; flag disciplinary actions (DE).
• Market & workforce intelligence — count and map licensed professionals by profession, city, county, and state.
• Recruiting & staffing — build candidate lists of credentialed nurses, therapists, trades, and other licensed roles by location.

How to use

1. Sign up for Apify — the free plan is enough to try this actor.
2. Open the US Professional License Scraper, pick states and enter professionKeywords (e.g. nurse, electric, real estate), and click Start.
3. Watch results stream into the dataset table.
4. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS — or pull results programmatically via the Apify API.

Input

{
    "states": ["CO", "CT", "DE", "TX"],
    "professionKeywords": ["nurse"],
    "statusActiveOnly": true,
    "issuedAfter": "2025-01-01",
    "maxResults": 1000,
    "sortNewestFirst": true,
    "monitorMode": false
}

• states — which state boards to query (CO, CT, DE, TX). Empty = all four.
• professionKeywords — keywords matched against each state's profession / license-type field (nurse, electric, real estate, cosmetolog, physician, pharmac, engineer, dentist, veterinar, cpa, counselor…). Empty = all professions. (Colorado uses license-type codes — common professions are mapped automatically; you can also pass a raw CO code like RN or DEN.)
• statusActiveOnly (default true) — active/current licenses only (for TX, keeps non-expired).
• cities / zipCodes — location filters (CO, CT, DE).
• counties — county filter (Texas).
• nameQuery — licensee name contains.
• issuedAfter — only licenses first issued on/after this date (fresh leads; CO/CT/DE).
• expiringBefore — only licenses expiring before this date (renewal-timing leads).
• maxResults / maxResultsPerState — output limits.
• sortNewestFirst (default true) — most recently issued first.
• monitorMode / monitorKey — emit only licenses new (or renewed) since the last run.
• socrataAppToken (optional) — higher rate limits for very large runs.

Output

One record per license (recordType: "license"):

{
    "recordType": "license",
    "jurisdiction": "CT",
    "fullName": "SAMANTHA G WILSON",
    "profession": "Emergency Medical Technician",
    "licenseType": "Emergency Medical Technician",
    "licenseNumber": "13734",
    "licenseStatus": "ACTIVE",
    "active": true,
    "disciplinaryAction": null,
    "issueDate": "2011-06-09",
    "expirationDate": "2027-03-31",
    "street": "13 RAMBLEWOOD DRIVE",
    "city": "Gales Ferry",
    "state": "CT",
    "zipCode": "06335",
    "county": null,
    "addressFull": "13 RAMBLEWOOD DRIVE, Gales Ferry, CT 06335",
    "verifyUrl": "https://www.elicense.ct.gov/",
    "leadScore": 84,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-20T03:00:00.000Z"
}

Fields vary by state (each board publishes a different set): Colorado adds lastRenewedDate and an official per-license verifyUrl; Delaware adds disciplinaryAction and profession; Texas adds businessName, ownerName, county, and continuingEducationCompleted. Fields are null only when that board doesn't publish them.

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run it daily/weekly to capture newly-licensed professionals and upcoming renewals; combine with monitorMode so each run returns only what's new.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/us-professional-license-scraper').call({
    states: ['CO', 'CT', 'DE', 'TX'],
    professionKeywords: ['real estate'],
    issuedAfter: '2025-01-01',
    maxResults: 2000,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} license leads`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new license leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get notified when a monitored search finds new licensees.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find active electrics licensed in Texas and Colorado" and let it run this scraper for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Tips

• Target a vertical: set professionKeywords (e.g. ["nurse"], ["electric","hvac"], ["real estate"]) — it's matched per state, so one keyword reaches every board.
• Renewal campaigns: combine expiringBefore with a profession to build a list of professionals due to renew.
• Fresh leads on a schedule: set issuedAfter + monitorMode and run on a daily Schedule to capture new licensees only.
• Colorado professions: CO publishes license-type codes. Common professions (nurse, cosmetologist, engineer, CPA, dentist, veterinarian, pharmacist, counselor, electric, etc.) are mapped automatically; for anything else, pass the raw CO code.

FAQ

Which states are covered? Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, and Texas — the states that publish complete, individual-level license data on official open-data portals. More states are added over time.

Do I need an API key? No. The data comes from public state open-data portals; no key, login, or browser is required. An optional Socrata app token only raises rate limits for very large runs.

Can I get one profession across all states? Yes — that's the point. professionKeywords is matched against each state's profession field, so a single keyword like nurse returns nurses from every selected board in one run.

Does it include contact emails or phone numbers? State boards generally don't publish those. This actor returns the official record — name, profession, license number, status, dates, and the mailing address the board publishes (CT includes full street address; CO/DE include city + ZIP; TX includes county).

How do I monitor new licenses automatically? Turn on monitorMode and create a Schedule. Each run returns only licenses that are new (or newly renewed) since the last run, tagged monitorEvent: "new".

Is this legal? This actor collects publicly available government records only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (e.g. GDPR/CCPA where relevant) and each portal's terms.

A field is null — why? Each state board publishes a different set of fields. A field is null when that particular board doesn't publish it (e.g. Texas has no street address; only CT publishes street).
