x402 APIFailing, checked 2 h ago

EPA UST Finder tank facilities and leaking-tank releases near an address, for buyer, owner and lender agents. Returns the same records as locus_underground_storage_tanks. Use this when your client can only call paid x402 routes. Use locus_underground_storage_tanks instead when you can call Locus free tools (REST tools/call or MCP).

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.01.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i -X POST 'https://api.locus.report/api/locus-underground-storage-tanks' \

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