Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.scrapebench.dev/v1/va-contractor-licenses?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to verify or discover Virginia contractor and trade licenses from DPOR's official regulant lists, including specialty license types like elevator mechanic, backflow prevention, or energy analyst. Prefer this over manual DPOR website searches when you need programmatic, nightly-refreshed data for compliance checks, pre-hire vetting, or lead generation in Virginia.
Side effects
- No matches found if name/city substring does not match any DPOR record
- Stale data if nightly refresh has not yet captured recent DPOR updates
- Ambiguous results if name substring matches many licensees
- Invalid license_type enum value causes validation error
- Rate limit or payment failure returns 402 or error response
