License & Credential Verification API

Verify a license in one request.

A single REST endpoint across every U.S. state board. Confirm a contractor, nurse, or real-estate agent is actually licensed, active, and in good standing — no PDFs, no portal scraping, no per-state integrations.

curl https://api.credentry.dev/v1/licenses/verify \

One schema, every board

50 states, hundreds of professions, normalized into one response. Status, expiry, disciplinary flags, and the raw source record.

Always current

Licenses expire and get revoked. We re-check against the source board so a stale cache never clears someone who shouldn't pass.

Built for the hiring flow

Sub-second verify, webhooks on status change, and a bulk endpoint for re-screening your whole roster on a schedule.

The API

One endpoint. No per-source plumbing.

Authenticate with a bearer key, send one request, get one normalized JSON response. The messy part — every source, every format, kept current — is ours.

Questions

Where does the data come from?

Public state licensing-board records. We normalize each board's format into one consistent schema and timestamp every lookup.

How fresh is it?

Verifications hit the source board so you get live status, not a stale export. Cached reads are clearly dated.

Which professions are covered?

Contractors and the skilled trades first (electrician, plumber, HVAC, roofing), then healthcare, real estate, and cosmetology. Tell us which you need.

What does the $9 reservation get me?

It locks your spot in the first cohort, founder pricing for 12 months, and priority on the professions and states you need. Fully refundable, anytime, no questions.

Reserve your key

$9, fully refundable. It tells us you're real and locks your founder rate. We build toward the first cohort's exact needs.
