How this service works

Locus public pay-per-use API

Output

A ranked list of up to 20 web search results matching the query, each containing title, URL, snippet/summary, and metadata such as publication date; results are filtered according to domain, language, recency, and date constraints specified in the request.

Example use cases

Breaking news monitoring for a topic

“Search for news about the US Federal Reserve interest rate decision from the last 24 hours, up to 10 results, focused on US sources.”

Domain-restricted competitor research

“Find the 20 most recent articles about Stripe's new product launches from techcrunch.com and forbes.com published after 01/01/2024.”

Multilingual market research

“Search for consumer sentiment about electric vehicles in Germany, results in German only, from the past month, max 15 results.”

Endpoint

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, pay-as-you-go web search with fine-grained controls over recency, domain, language, and geography — especially in agentic workflows where you want to pay $0.001 per call via x402 micropayments rather than maintaining a subscription. Ideal when you need to search multiple queries in one call, restrict results to trusted domains, or retrieve localized results by country code.

Side effects

Invalid country code returns localization error or defaults to global
max_results outside 1-20 range may be clamped or rejected
search_domain_filter exceeding 20 domains returns validation error
Invalid date format (not MM/DD/YYYY) causes filter to be ignored or error
Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no search results
Empty or malformed query array returns empty results or 400 error

Reviews

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.
