Where does New York liquor license data come from?

From the New York State Liquor Authority (NY SLA), the official state authority. We pull its licensee record and normalize it into one searchable API.

Does it include pending applications?

The state publishes licenses once they are issued, so a license appears as soon as the state posts it.

How current is the New York data?

These 61,000+ licenses come from the New York State Liquor Authority and are current as of 2026-08-09. We re-pull that record on a schedule and publish whatever it contains, so you can always see the as-of date rather than take a refresh promise on trust.
