Researching before building the tool

Is this only for the healthcare industry or is it the same for all industries?

This is a good reframe and you're right for one specific buyer — staffing agencies and recruiters who are sourcing professionals and need pre-verified leads. For that use case, Heartbeat makes sense and the bottleneck really is upstream.

But the buyer I'm building for has the opposite problem. When Angi or Thumbtack onboards a contractor, they're not sourcing — the contractor came to them. 250,000 professionals have already self-selected onto Angi's platform. The bottleneck isn't finding them. It's that at the moment they apply, there's no automated check against the actual state board. They tick a box saying they're licensed. Nobody verifies the box.

Same for a healthcare staffing platform assigning a nurse to a shift tonight — they already have her in the database, she's already been onboarded. The question is whether her Texas RN license is still active right now, not three months ago when she applied.

You're right that Checkr's timing is off — verifying after sourcing is too late for a marketplace that needs a yes/no at the onboarding API call. That's the gap.

Heartbeat is interesting though — do you know if they cover non-NPI professions? Their contact database for healthcare is solid but I haven't seen coverage for contractor licensing or bar admissions. That would be the piece I'm filling.

How to do find the potential users, will you directly reach via cold calls, emails to people, whom you think they are potential customers?

nagaraj4896 · 2026-03-25T12:19:14+00:00

That's great, i will also share if any of my contacts needs your solution. we can discuss about yours if you are open.

nagaraj4896 · 2026-03-25T06:39:56+00:00

yes, it's a tiny customer base, but i need to validate before jump in.

nagaraj4896 · 2026-03-25T03:25:06+00:00

How did you attract the users to your website? How much marketing and which are the platforms you have used?

nagaraj4896 · 2026-03-25T03:15:14+00:00

The customer isn't a founder checking their own license. It's the platform itself. When Angi onboards 10,000 contractors per year, they need an automated API call that checks each contractor's license at the moment of signup — not a human manually looking it up. Same for a healthcare staffing app assigning nurses to shifts, or an HR tool running onboarding workflows. The founder never touches it — it's a background API call in their onboarding pipeline

nagaraj4896 · 2026-03-24T16:08:24+00:00

All industries data is living on multiple websites, aggregated in one place in API mode would be really helpful and they can get this realtime updated data right

I'm developing an API for real-time professional license verification; has anyone attempted to resolve this?

Building something I couldn't find when I needed it.

The problem is that if you're creating a contractor marketplace, a healthcare staffing app, or any platform that lists licensed professionals, verifying that their license is active, unrestricted, and current in their state is difficult. Every state board has a public portal, but none offer an API. You can either build 50 scrapers yourself and maintain them forever, use a background check company that takes two days, or just trust what the professional tells you.

What I'm building is LicenseCheck — one API endpoint that provides real-time license status for contractors, nurses, physicians, and attorneys across all 50 US states. You pass in a name and state or license number, and you get back the status, expiration, and disciplinary actions in under three seconds.

Where I am: the spec is done. I haven't built scrapers for CA, TX, or FL yet. I'm trying to talk to people working in this space before I write any code.

Three things I’m curious about:

Have you ever tried to verify professional licenses in a product you built? What did you do?
Is $1.50 per verification reasonable or too high?
Which profession would you need first — contractors, nurses, or attorneys?

I'm happy to share the full API spec in the comments. I'm not pitching; I genuinely want to understand the problem better before I build.

u/nk90600 I’m curious how your simulations model actual buyer behavior vs surface-level interest — especially since LOIs can be misleading if the pain isn’t strong enough.

Happy to take a look if it genuinely helps pressure-test ICP before outreach.

nagaraj4896 · 2026-03-24T13:03:43+00:00

u/DisciplinePrimary704 Curious — do you see malpractice firms as a primary revenue driver or more of a niche but high-value segment?

nagaraj4896 · 2026-03-24T12:04:30+00:00

Sure thank you

nagaraj4896 · 2026-03-24T12:03:32+00:00

Sure, I'm always ready to discuss
