One call. State and city licenses, same schema.

The /verify response is identical in shape whether the license is issued by a state board or a city — add the city parameter and your integration code stays the same:

GET /verify?state=TX&city=dallas&license=SAMPLE-12345&trade=electrical

{
  "valid": true,
  "name": "SAMPLE CONTRACTING LLC",
  "license_number": "SAMPLE-12345",
  "trade": "electrical",
  "expiration": "05/12/2027",
  "status": "Active",
  "state": "TX",
  "disciplinary_actions": [],
  "source_url": "https://aca-prod.accela.com/DALLASTX/GeneralProperty/PropertyLookUp.aspx?isLicensee=Y&TabName=APO",
  "cached": false,
  "checked_at": "2026-06-22T05:14:00Z"
