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/forum-freightwaves/`
**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

## Endpoints

| `page` | integer | No | Page number for category topic listings (0-indexed). Only applies when category is specified. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.beta.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/forum-freightwaves/get-posts \

### Get topic posts

Get all posts within a specific forum topic by its numeric ID. Returns topic metadata and the full post stream including HTML content, author info, and engagement metrics. Topic IDs can be obtained from the get_posts endpoint.
