Jurisdictions
| State | Status | Source | Bond + Insurance |
|---|---|---|---|
| **WA** | ✅ Live | WA L&I open data (data.wa.gov) | ✅ Real data (bzff-4fmt + ciwg-agsx datasets) |
| **CA** | ⚠️ Beta | CSLB HTML (cslb.ca.gov) | ✅ Parsed when CSLB is up |
**Washington is the reliable, production-ready jurisdiction.** Official WA L&I open data is served via Socrata JSON — no scraping, no rate limits, bond and insurance data included from dedicated datasets.
**California is beta.** CSLB does not publish an open API; the provider fetches the HTML detail page directly. CSLB rate-limits or 503s automated requests intermittently. When unavailable, verify_license returns a clean SESSION_ERROR — **you are never charged on source failures.** Do not rely on CA for production workflows until a stable server-side CSLB run is confirmed.
