Which IL classifications count as roofing contractors

• Roofing Contractor — the only construction licence type IDFPR publishes

A record's classifications array carries these codes, so you can tell a licence that covers the work from one that merely exists.

Run it

curl "https://contractor-license-verification2.p.rapidapi.com/v1/licenses/IL/104000018" \
  -H "X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "X-RapidAPI-Host: contractor-license-verification2.p.rapidapi.com"

104000018 is a real IL licence (ANDERSON AND SHAH ROOFING INC) in this trade, so that call works as written.

Before you rely on it

Roofing is the whole of Illinois coverage here, not a subset of it: it is the one construction trade IDFPR publishes as open data. Illinois also publishes disciplinary actions — one of three states here that do, and the only one that gives a reason — so a roofing lookup returns case numbers, dates and reasons where they exist.

What Department of Financial and Professional Regulation does not publish

• Street address
• Surety bond
• Workers' compensation

Full coverage detail, including the caveats that apply to every Illinois lookup, is on the Illinois page.
