**Category:** Entertainment | **Website:** [boardgamegeek.com/](https://boardgamegeek.com/) | **Docs:** [parse.bot/marketplace/09e70512-5e43-4d87-8ad4-86d9c855217c/boardgamegeek-com-api](https://parse.bot/marketplace/09e70512-5e43-4d87-8ad4-86d9c855217c/boardgamegeek-com-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/boardgamegeek/`
**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.

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

## Endpoints

### Get game details

Retrieve comprehensive details for a single board game by its BoardGameGeek numeric identifier. Returns year, player-count range, recommended age, playing time, designers, publishers, categories, mechanics, full description, average and Bayesian ratings, overall rank, subdomain ranks, and complexity weight.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `game_id` | string | Yes | Numeric BoardGameGeek game identifier (e.g. '13' for Catan, '174430' for Gloomhaven). Obtainable from search_games results. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.beta.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/boardgamegeek/get-game-details \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"game_id":"<string>"}'
```

### Search games

Full-text search over BoardGameGeek's database of tabletop games. Results include the BGG identifier, title, year published, and game type (base game or expansion). Results are ordered by relevance. The search covers primary and alternate game names.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `limit` | integer | No | Maximum number of results to return (up to 100). |
| `query` | string | Yes | Search term to match against game titles. |
| `type` | string | No | Filter results by game type. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.beta.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/boardgamegeek/search-games \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"limit":"<integer>","query":"<string>","type":"<string>"}'
