Which OR classifications count as general contractors

• RGC — Residential General Contractor 30,463 records
• CGC1 — Commercial General Contractor Level 1 2,278 records
• CGC2 — Commercial General Contractor Level 2 5,496 records

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/OR/259456" \
  -H "X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "X-RapidAPI-Host: contractor-license-verification2.p.rapidapi.com"

259456 is a real OR licence (EDWARD CARL BARRINGTON) in this trade, so that call works as written.

Before you rely on it

The CCB endorses by scope — residential or commercial, general or specialty — and not by trade. There is no CCB endorsement for “electrician” or “plumber”: those are licensed separately by the Building Codes Division, and this API answers for both registers under OR. A BCD number carries its trade letters (26885J, PB3668) and a CCB number is plain digits, so the two never collide.

What Construction Contractors Board does not publish

• A status column of its own
• Disciplinary actions
