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/mercury/`
**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

### Get all investors

Retrieves the complete Mercury investor database in a single call. Returns structured records for all 295+ investors with summary fields: name, company, role, investor type, industries, stages, check size range, lead preference, and geography. No pagination — the full dataset is returned. Use get_investor_detail for extended bio, investment philosophy, and contact information.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

_No parameters required._

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.beta.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/mercury/get-all-investors \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
```

### Get investor detail

Retrieves the full profile for a single investor identified by their URL slug. Returns extended fields not available in the list endpoint: full biography, investment philosophy, how they work with founders, notable investment highlights, contact email, LinkedIn URL, and Twitter/X URL. Slugs are sourced from get_all_investors.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `slug` | string | Yes | The investor's URL slug identifier (e.g. 'aaron-holiday', 'abbie-strabala'). Obtain from get_all_investors endpoint investors[*].slug field. |

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