Steps
Call the /api/doc/v1/ssts/licensed-businesses route to search for a business by name and pull its license status and county service area.
For individual certifications, call the /api/doc/v1/ssts/licensed-individuals route with the person's name to confirm active certification.
Use /api/doc/v1/ssts/licensed-individuals/specialty-area to confirm the individual is certified for the specific specialty (e.g. Inspector, Installer, Pumper) needed for the job.
Check /api/doc/v1/ssts/licensed-individuals-exam for exam pass records if you need to confirm a base certification before a specialty was added.
Cross-check the returned county field against /api/doc/v1/ssts/county to confirm the license covers the job site's county.
Known gotchas
Most routes are marked 'Documentation TODO' on MPCA's own service description page -- field names must be reverse-engineered from a live response rather than trusted docs, so build defensively.
This mirrors the public-facing SSTS License Search web app; there's no published SLA or rate limit, so avoid hammering it with bulk automated lookups.
