• Which Connecticut licences expire in the next 60 days?

What Connecticut actually publishes

Measured on real rows pulled from the board, not on what its documentation says. A field the board does not publish stays empty; the Actor never guesses one.

Field	Published
Licence number, status, trade	yes
Expiry date	yes
Street address	yes
City and ZIP	yes
County	no
Phone	no
Email	no
Insurance or bond expiry	no

Connecticut publishes no phone number. Not in the search results and not on the licence page. Rows carry name, address, licence number, trade, status and expiry date, and the phone column is empty. That is the register, not a gap in this Actor: what you get is a verification and renewal-window tool, not a calling list.

Trades covered

• Home improvement contractor (HIC)
• New home construction contractor (NHC)
• Electrical, unlimited, limited and solar (ELC)
• Plumbing and piping (PLM)
• Heating, piping and cooling (HTG)
• Elevator, conveyor, hoists and lifts (ELV)
• Flat and automotive glass (GLZ)
• Roofing, matched by trading name inside HIC

A trade the board does not license is not in the list, and the Actor will not invent it.

Two modes

Lookup. One name or licence number per line. A licence number matches exactly; a name matches any licensee or business containing it. Every match comes back as its own row with the query it matched, so a list of 800 subcontractors comes back as a checked list.

Export. Pick a trade (or all of them) and get every licence in Connecticut, with onlyActive, onlyWithPhone and onlyExpiringSoon (next 60 days) filters and a maxResults cap.

What every row carries

state, licenseNumber, name, businessName, licenseType, status, isActive, expirationDate, daysToExpiry, isExpiringSoon, address, city, zip, county, phone, email, sourceUrl, scrapedAt, plus matchedQuery in lookup mode. Dates are ISO, phones are E.164, status is normalised so ACTIVE means active on every board. Every column is described in the Actor's dataset schema, so AI agents and integrations know what each one means.

Input

Field	What it does
mode	lookup checks your list; export returns every licence for the chosen trades; newBusinesses lists construction companies registered recently.
queries	Lookup mode: one name or licence number per line.
trades	Trades to include. Empty means every trade the Connecticut board licenses.
onlyActive, onlyWithPhone, onlyExpiringSoon	Export filters.
maxResults	Cap on delivered rows, so a run never costs more than you planned.

New contractors: the lead before the licence exists

mode: newBusinesses reads the Connecticut business registry (official open data) for construction companies registered in the last N days and crosses each one with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, Occupational and Professional Licensing Division register by exact business name. Every row says isLicensed true or false, with the licence number, status, expiry and phone when the board already knows the company. Connecticut updates daily: 587 construction registrations in 30 days, every one with an email address, 65 already licensed (measured 22 September 2026). onlyUnlicensed keeps the ones the board does not know yet.

Built for verification

• Every query comes back as a row, matched or not, with matchedQuery to join it to your list.
• No match, no charge.
• Status normalised so isActive means the same thing as on every other board; the board's own status text is kept.
• Source URL on every row, pointing at the board's page for that licence: the primary source for a compliance file.
• Coverage printed by the run, per field, in RUN_SUMMARY: what you actually received, not what a README promises.
• Incomplete runs say so: a board that did not answer is named in the summary and the run is flagged, never passed off as clean.
• Stable ids (CT-<licence>) for diffing between scheduled runs: schedule the same list daily and you have licence-lapse alerts on your subcontractors.

Pricing

Pay per delivered row. Filtered-out rows cost nothing. A lookup that finds nothing charges nothing beyond the start fee.
