Inputs

Field	Type	Req	Default	Description
`query`	string	no	`"Smith"`	A Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License number (e.g. 'CS-093362' or just the digits) OR a last name. A license number is looked up directly; anything else is searched against the last-name index. Both return the matching licenses, deduped by license number.
`queries`	array	no	`["Smith"]`	Look up many in ONE run instead of starting a run per lookup. Takes the same values as 'Search query'. Combined with 'Search query' if you fill both, and duplicates are removed. Billing is unchanged: you are charged per record returned, not per entry submitted.
`licenseType`	string	no	`""`	Restrict the search to one Construction Supervisor License subtype. Default searches all three.
`statusFilter`	string	no	—	Exact license-status text to keep, e.g. 'Active', 'Expired', 'Null and Void', 'Suspended', 'Revoked'. Default: no filter (all statuses).
`includeDetails`	boolean	no	`true`	When on (default), each match is enriched with its full Details.aspx record — address, city, ZIP, and issue/expiration dates. Turn off for a faster, lighter result list (name, license #, type, status).
`maxResults`	integer	no	`50`	Cap on the number of records returned PER ENTRY, not per run — so a batch cannot silently return only the first 50 rows overall and read as 'the rest don't exist'. The portal itself caps each individual search at ~40 rows per page — narrow the query (name, license type, status) to get under that. Default 50.
`proxyConfiguration`	object	no	`{"useApifyProxy":false}`	Optional. The MyLicense 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 Massachusetts MyLicense 'Verification' registry (madpl.mylicense.com), run by the Office of Public Safety and Inspections — public, authoritative license data.

What can I search by?

A Construction Supervisor License number (e.g. CS-093362) or a last name. Both return the matching licenses, deduped by license number.

Does this cover Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration too?

No — HIC registration lives on a separate Salesforce portal (contractorhub.mass.gov) and isn't covered by this actor. This actor covers the Construction Supervisor License (CSL) only.

What fields do I get?

License number, licensee name, license type, status, and expiration, plus address and issue date 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 (licensee records as the Commonwealth publishes them); we add no personal/PII enrichment.

How current is it?

It reflects the live MyLicense record at lookup time.
