Only three states — and we’ll tell you why
Most states have no live licence API at all. California’s ABC blocks automated access outright, Washington publishes dated spreadsheets, Florida’s download page is dead, and Missouri’s open-data “liquor licences” set contains 388 rows. We only cover states we can query in real time, so nothing here is a stale copy.
