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/openthebooks/`
**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 salaries by title

Search Nevada state employee salary records by title/department keyword. The title filter is applied client-side (case-insensitive substring match) against server-paginated results sorted by annual wages descending. Each page contains up to 100 upstream records; matches_on_page reports how many matched the title filter. Use employer and year filters to narrow the server-side result set before title filtering. Results are auto-iterated across upstream pages.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `employer` | string | No | Employer name for server-side filtering. Must match a value from the site's employer dropdown (e.g. 'University of Nevada, Reno', 'University of Nevada, Las Vegas'). |
| `name` | string | No | Employee last name (optionally followed by first name, no comma) for server-side filtering. |
| `page` | integer | No | Upstream page number (1-based). Each page has up to 100 upstream records, of which zero or more may match the title filter. |
| `title` | string | Yes | Keyword to match in the employee title field (case-insensitive substring). Titles typically contain academic department names (e.g. 'economics', 'nursing', 'computer science'). |
| `year` | string | No | Year to filter by (e.g. '2024'). Omit or leave empty for all years. |
