## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable Florida public food-service or lodging license data — especially for compliance checks, due diligence, or business verification. It is ideal when you need to query by business name or exact license number across specific Florida DBPR licensing districts. Prefer this over manual DBPR portal searches when automating license verification pipelines or enriching business data with regulatory status.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid district number outside 1-7 range returns validation error
- Unknown category value causes rejection
