**Category:** Developer Tools | **Website:** [devpost.com/](https://devpost.com/) | **Docs:** [parse.bot/marketplace/1e76692b-42c7-418f-8143-dfb0b5b15111/devpost-com-api](https://parse.bot/marketplace/1e76692b-42c7-418f-8143-dfb0b5b15111/devpost-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/devpost/`
**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

### Search hackathons

Search and list hackathons with optional filters for status, search query, sorting, and pagination. Returns hackathon details including title, submission dates, prize amount, themes, and registration count. Each page from the upstream API returns up to 9 results; the limit parameter controls how many total results to accumulate across pages.

**Estimated cost:** Metered
