About ContractorVerify
We are building the single API that makes contractor license verification fast, reliable, and accessible - so platforms never have to scrape state boards themselves.
// Our Mission
ContractorVerify exists to make contractor license verification accessible via API. Every platform that works with contractors - marketplaces, property managers, insurers, GCs - needs to verify licenses. Today, that process is manual, fragmented, and unreliable. We are changing that with a single REST endpoint that returns structured, real-time license data.
// The Problem
There are 50 state licensing boards in the US, each with its own website, data format, and lookup process. Some have searchable databases. Some require PDF downloads. A few still rely on phone calls.
For any platform that needs to verify contractor credentials at scale, this fragmentation is a nightmare. Engineering teams spend months building and maintaining scrapers for just a handful of states - and those scrapers break every time a state board redesigns their site.
The result: most platforms either skip license verification entirely or do it manually - checking one contractor at a time on state websites. Neither approach scales. Neither is reliable.
// Our Approach
ContractorVerify takes a different approach. We maintain a network of real-time scrapers that pull license data directly from each state's authoritative licensing board. When you make an API call, we hit the source - not a stale database copy.
- Real-time scraping from authoritative state boards
- Standardized JSON schema across all 50 states
- 24-hour intelligent caching with force-refresh option
- Batch verification for up to 100 contractors per call
- Webhook notifications for async workflows
One API call. One response format. Every state. That is the product.
