Locus Local Legislation

by api.locus.report in News & content

x402 APIPassing, checked 1 h ago

Returns one LegiScan or Legistar headline bill for an address, covering zoning, ADU, rental or tax items. Returns the same records as locus_local_legislation. Use this when your client can only call paid x402 routes. Use locus-local-policy-brief instead when you need the full matched set, bill-text provisions, status history and property-class mapping. Not legal advice.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.05.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
