## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability locus-governing-districts-property-scan-54db67e4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a Locus property scan on 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, IL 62701 and tell me what governing districts, parcel rules, and risk signals might affect that property?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost first look at a US property's governing districts, zoning constraints, and risk signals before committing to deeper due diligence. Ideal for early-stage property research, investment screening, or pre-purchase checks when you have a street address or ZIP code and want to surface regulatory or risk factors quickly.

## Known failure modes

- Address not found or unrecognized — returns empty records array with caveats
- Invalid or missing both address and ZIP — likely a 400 validation error
- ZIP code outside US — may return no results or error
- Payment failure (x402) — 402 response if USDC payment not provided
- Rate limiting or server error — 500-level response

## How this service works

Legislative districts for an address. Perfect for: 'what congressional district is this address in', 'state legislative districts for a location', 'who represents this address', 'voting districts lookup'. Returns US congressional, state senate, and state house districts from Census TIGERweb. National. Not local districts (county/municipal wards/school boards). Charge-free when geocoding fails or TIGERweb errors.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a scan ID, list of governing districts and parcel rules relevant to the property, risk signals that may affect use or value, any caveats about the data, and a timestamp of when the report was generated.
