Locus Valuation Challenge

by api.locus.report in Markets & finance

x402 APIPassing, checked 1 h ago

Stress-test a caller-supplied property price or assessment notice for one US address against cited recorded-sales, parcel, permit, hazard, tax, zoning, legislation, and same-roll assessment-uniformity evidence in protest mode; Locus never creates or endorses a price, ARV, deal judgment, or investment score, and the result is charge-free if under two substantive sections resolve. npx @velinussage/locus-agent-skill add.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.1.

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

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