Searches a US state ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) board database for liquor licenses matching a business name, owner name, or address. Returns license type, current status (ACTIVE / SUSPENDED / EXPIRED / REVOKED), expiration date, and any suspension history. Use this before approving a distributor order, binding an insurance policy, or onboarding a merchant to verify they hold a valid liquor license. Supports CA, TX, NY, and FL (TX requires TWOCAPTCHA_API_KEY configured server-side; NY uses NY Open Data API — active licenses only; FL searches the DBPR licensing portal across all board types). Always check the _verifiability block: extraction_confidence >= 0.90 and source_timestamp within data_freshness_ttl_seconds are required for compliance decisions. Note: city, county, zip, and license_status filters are accepted but not yet applied server-side — results may need post-filtering.
