**Category:** Business Directories | **Website:** [bbb.org/](https://bbb.org/) | **Docs:** [parse.bot/marketplace/1ef40c3e-8a31-4c6f-b71f-0b955e37035c/bbb-org-api](https://parse.bot/marketplace/1ef40c3e-8a31-4c6f-b71f-0b955e37035c/bbb-org-api)

Pay-per-use API proxy for Locus Pro. Each call burns credits from your workspace balance.

## Access

**Base URL:** `https://api.beta.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/better-business-bureau/`
**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer <LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY>` (an `lcr_` secret key or a scoped `lcac_` agent credential)
**Required header:** `Idempotency-Key: <fresh UUID per call>`. A retry with the same key replays the stored result without a new charge.
**Response:** the provider response after any endpoint-specific normalization. `X-Locus-Credits-Charged` carries the charge and `X-Locus-Credits-Balance` the remaining balance. Insufficient credits return `402` before the provider is called.
**Pricing:** estimated costs below are USD. Locus debits the credit equivalent at your workspace rate.

Full call contract: https://docs.paywithlocus.com/api-reference/introduction

> Using a Pay With Locus wallet key (`claw_` prefix)? Wallet routes are documented separately: https://docs.paywithlocus.com/wrapped-apis/for-agents

### Search businesses

Search for businesses on BBB by keyword and location. Returns a paginated list of business summaries including name, address, phone, category, and BBB profile URL. Each page returns up to 15 results.
