Pay-per-use API proxy for Locus Pro. Each call burns credits from your workspace balance.

## Access

**Base URL:** `https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/california-state-controller/`
**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

### Get department personnel

Returns personnel contact information for a specific California state department. Each record includes the staff member's name, job title, phone number or extension, and email address. The department_slug comes from list_departments results.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `department_slug` | string | Yes | Department identifier slug from list_departments (e.g. 'aging', 'finance', 'lottery'). Lowercase with underscores. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/california-state-controller/get-department-personnel \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"department_slug":"<string>"}'
```

### List departments

Lists all California state departments in the Personnel Office Directory. Each department entry includes its slug identifier and official name. Results can be filtered by alphabetical group tab (A, B, C, ... XYZ, CSU). The slug is used to fetch personnel details for a specific department.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `letter` | string | No | Alphabetical group tab to filter departments. Omit to return all departments. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/california-state-controller/list-departments \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"letter":"<string>"}'
```
