Locus: Property Scan is a paid API for AI agents from api.locus.report, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).
Scans local public records and parcel rules for a given address to identify answered questions, open issues, and recommended next verification steps.
Cited county recorder property-fraud alert and title-notification programs for buyer, owner and lender agents. Returns the same records as locus_fraud_alert_pointer. Use this when your client can only call paid x402 routes. Use locus_fraud_alert_pointer instead when you can call Locus free tools (REST tools/call or MCP).
Returns a JSON object with a scan ID, a timestamp of when the scan was generated, a list of public record entries found for the property, and a list of caveats or limitations on the data — indicating which questions are answered by public records and which remain open for further verification.
POSThttps://api.locus.report/api/locus-fraud-alert-pointer?utm_source=zero.xyzChoose this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost ($0.01) first-pass scan of public records and parcel rules for a specific property address — especially useful for due diligence, fraud screening, or identifying what further research is needed before a real estate transaction. Prefer this over deeper paid data pulls when you first want to understand what public data already exists and what gaps remain.

Do not calculate savings or infer an amount.-- Keep deadlines and program windows verbatim. Do not infer a date that the source does not state.-- Do not expose private personal data."
