Inputs

Field	Type	Req	Default	Description
`query`	string	yes	`"CGC1514724"`	A Florida DBPR license number (class prefix + digits, e.g. 'CGC1514724') OR a name. A number is looked up directly; anything else is searched against the DBPR licensee/business name index. Both return the matching licenses (deduped by license #).
`includeDetails`	boolean	no	`true`	When on (default), each match is enriched with its full DBPR license record — license type, issue/expiration dates, county, and full address. Turn off for a faster, lighter result list (license #, name, type, status, expiration, city).
`maxResults`	integer	no	`50`	Cap on the number of matches returned (and enriched) in a single run. This is a lookup, not a bulk export — defaults to 50.
`proxyConfiguration`	object	no	`{"useApifyProxy":false}`	Optional. The DBPR portal is usually reachable directly; enable a proxy (e.g. residential) only if a run is blocked or served a challenge.

Pricing

Pay per result (dataset-item) — no charge for empty runs.
Example: 100 verified license records at $0.004/result ≈ $0.40.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

The official Florida DBPR 'Verify a Licensee' registry — public, authoritative license data.

What can I search by?

A DBPR license number (e.g. CGC1514724) or a business/licensee name. Both return the matching licenses, deduped by license number.

What fields do I get?

License number, business/licensee name, license type, status, expiration, plus county and full address when detail enrichment is on.

How am I charged?

Pay-per-result — per license match returned. No charge for searches with no results.

Is this personal data?

It's public professional-license data (business and license-holder records as DBPR publishes them); we add no personal/PII enrichment.

How current is it?

It reflects the live DBPR record at lookup time.
