Tips

• Newly licensed contractors: licensedFrom = "7 days", states = ["WA", "OR", "CT", "CO"].
• Call-ready lists: requirePhone = true, then run our US Phone Number Validator for time zone and calling hours.
• Find their emails: many contractors list a website. Run our Website Contact Extractor, then the Bulk Email Validator.
• Pair with permits: our US Building Permits Scraper shows which contractors are actively pulling permits.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? The official open-data portals of each state agency (data.texas.gov, data.wa.gov, data.oregon.gov, data.ct.gov, data.colorado.gov). The source field links to the exact dataset and verifyUrl to the agency's lookup page.

How fresh is it? The agencies refresh these datasets daily to weekly, and each run queries them live.

Why no California, Florida or Arizona? Those boards don't publish their registers as open-data APIs (only web search forms). This actor sticks to stable, official APIs so it doesn't break. More open-data states will be added. Request one on the Issues tab.

Why are some trades missing in some states? Each state licenses different trades. For example, Colorado licenses only electrical and plumbing, Texas has no general-contractor license, and Oregon endorsements are general or specialty without a trade.

Is this legal? Yes. Professional licenses are public records published by the states for verification and reuse. Follow TCPA/CAN-SPAM rules when contacting businesses.
