Vet Your Marketplace At Scale.
Bulk lookup API, nightly disciplinary feed, license expiration alerts. Built for the platform that lists thousands of contractors and needs to know which ones are still legitimate.
The Problem
Home service platforms run on trust. Stale verification erodes it quietly:
- You list thousands of contractors and recheck them quarterly at best
- An expired or suspended license on your marketplace is a homeowner-trust problem and a legal exposure
- Standard license tools return 'not found' on revoked and denied licensees — so a previously-banned contractor can re-onboard your marketplace under a fresh listing and you'd never know
- License-number collisions on NYC DOB silently merge different humans into one record in standard tools — your consumer-facing pages can show the wrong licensee
- Manual verification doesn't scale; building scrapers per state burns engineering time forever
- Disciplinary actions land between your verification cycles and stay invisible until a complaint hits
What You Can Do
Re-verify your whole roster overnight
Send your marketplace roster in one call, get back a normalized status report across all four states.
Active listings and discipline flags, pre-sorted
Every result tells you at a glance whether it's an active contractor or a discipline-only record, labeled by license type. Route active subs to listings, matches to your trust-and-safety queue.
Two trades, one number — never merged
On NYC's buildings board, Master Plumber #1094 and Licensed Electrician #1094 are different people. Tools that match on the number alone surface the wrong one. We return both, labeled by trade, so your consumer reports stay accurate.
Catch a new action within 24 hours
A new citation, suspension, or revocation surfaces in your platform within 24 hours of hitting the board — including discipline-only records, so a denied applicant can't slip back in under a fresh signup.
Block bad listings before they go live
Run a lookup inside your onboarding flow and block listings tied to suspended, revoked, denied, or surrendered licenses — including the ones that never appear in any active-license registry.
Nudge renewals before they expire
Get a programmatic feed of contractors expiring in the next 30/60/90 days, so you can prompt renewal before it becomes a marketplace problem.
What a marketplace check returns
Three contractors a platform actually runs into — the clean listing, the revoked re-applicant, and the trade mix-up that skews a consumer page.
