API reference

The LicenseSearcher API is organized around REST. It accepts form-encoded request bodies and returns JSON-encoded responses. To keep the service fast and reliable, rate limits apply to all endpoints.
Every request must be made over HTTPS and authenticated with an API key. Start with Authentication, then explore the Liquor Licenses API.
