- `https://colorado-liquor-license-records.pages.dev/d/n/<key>.json` — names starting with that key -> [identifier, name, city, state, type]
- `https://colorado-liquor-license-records.pages.dev/d/r/<fragment>.json` — records; fragment = hash of the identifier: h = 0, then for each character h = (h*31 + character code) modulo 4096; in hexadecimal on 3 digits

## What this site is NOT

- This is not the official register and does not replace consulting it.
- Holding a licence is the minimum legal requirement, not a quality mark.
- One record per license number; permits are grouped.
- Compliance checks are matched by address and name, not by number.
- Not found is not 'unlicensed'.
- This site ranks no one.
