**Category:** Business Directories | **Website:** [www.protenders.com/companies](https://www.protenders.com/companies) | **Docs:** [parse.bot/marketplace/83198223-97d7-4c09-bf3b-aa4c082568f3/protenders-com-api](https://parse.bot/marketplace/83198223-97d7-4c09-bf3b-aa4c082568f3/protenders-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/protenders/`
**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 company

Look up a specific company by name or slug. Searches across all companies and returns the best match — an exact match on name or slug is preferred, otherwise the top Algolia hit is returned. Returns full company details including contacts, activities, projects, and certifications.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `name` | string | Yes | Company name or slug to search for (e.g. 'barbanel', 'imep') |

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

### Search companies

Full-text search across construction industry companies, filterable by location. Returns paginated results with company details including contacts, projects, and activities. Location is a facet filter (country, city, or region name as listed on the site). Omitting location returns all companies matching the query globally. Each page returns up to hits_per_page results; iterate pages 0..total_pages-1 for the full set.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `hits_per_page` | integer | No | Number of results per page (max 1000) |
| `location` | string | No | Filter by company location (country, city, or region name as listed on protenders.com). Examples: Lebanon, Dubai, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar |
| `page` | integer | No | Page number (0-indexed) |
| `query` | string | No | Search keyword to filter companies by name or description |

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