Search by name, license number, state, or profession; verify a business or person against the roster with fuzzy name matching; look up board discipline history. Coverage is honest, not exhaustive: TDLR bulk files carry no license-status column (expiration date is the only status proxy we have, reported as such), DBPR's file excludes null-and-void/ delinquent/involuntarily-inactive licenses upstream, and Oregon CCB likewise has no status column (see docs/licensing.md); Connecticut eLicense DOES carry real status/active columns, reported verbatim. Every record carries full provenance (source, source URL, fetched-at, record hash) and every response includes as_of freshness — built for agent-driven verification and compliance workflows.","url":"https://licenses.recordsforagents.com/verify","method":"GET","headers":{},"bodySchema":{"type":"object","properties":{"required":{"type":"string"},"properties":{"type":"string"}}},"responseSchema":null,"example":null,"exampleRequest":null,"tags":["x402"],"displayCostAmount":"0.01","displayCostAsset":"USDC","priceDynamic":false,"priceHint":null,"priceStatus":"priced","priceSource":"probe","requiresHandshake":false,"reviewCount":0,"rating":{"score":"0.00","successRate":"0.00","reviews":0,"stars":null,"state":"unrated"},"availabilityStatus":"unknown","priceObserved":null,"sessionDeposit":null,"pricing":{"kind":"static","summary":"$0.01/call","primary":{"kind":"static","protocol":"x402","network":"base","amountUsd":"0.01","per":"call","confidence":"exact"},"accepted":[{"kind":"static","protocol":"x402","network":"base","amountUsd":"0.01","per":"call","confidence":"exact"}]},"paymentMethods":[{"uid":"pm_D6hoOR7geXrrwLnX7Iu5l","protocol":"x402","methodType":"crypto","chain":"base","mode":"charge","costAmount":"0.01","costPer":"request","priority":0,"asset":"0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913","unit":"request","depositMicros":null,"planRef":null}],"brandName":null,"brandSlug":null,"brandBaseUrl":null,"brandDocsUrl":null,"whatItDoes":"Verifies US contractor and trade licenses by name or license number across TX TDLR, FL DBPR, OR CCB, and CT eLicense databases with fuzzy matching and provenance metadata","exampleAgentPrompt":"Can you verify whether John Martinez holds a valid electrician license with Texas TDLR?
