What it returns
Alcoholic beverage licenses from six state regulators, in one schema: license id, licensee (legal owner), trade name, license type, status, premises address, city, county, ZIP, coordinates where published, original and current issue dates, expiration and, for pending applications, the date received.
| State | Regulator | Licenses |
|---|---|---|
| California | Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (active, surrendered, suspended and pending) | 130k |
| Texas | Alcoholic Beverage Commission (active, expired and pending) | 129k |
| New York | State Liquor Authority (active and pending) | 62k |
| Oregon | Liquor and Cannabis Commission (active, expired and open applications) | 23k |
| Colorado | Liquor Enforcement Division (active) | 21k |
| Missouri | Alcohol and Tobacco Control (active) | 16k |
Refreshed weekly. Texas license types read as name and TABC code, e.g. "Mixed Beverage Permit (MB)"; less common codes appear as the code alone. California types read as name and ABC type number, e.g. "On-Sale General - Eating Place (47)"; California has one row per license type at a premises. New listings for a market: {"states": ["NY"], "pendingOnly": true}. New York's active list does not carry trade names.
