**Category:** Education | **Website:** [gate2026.iitg.ac.in/](https://gate2026.iitg.ac.in/) | **Docs:** [parse.bot/marketplace/710b1f61-bd19-4c33-9808-4a16ff93ec7c/gate2026-iitg-ac-in-api](https://parse.bot/marketplace/710b1f61-bd19-4c33-9808-4a16ff93ec7c/gate2026-iitg-ac-in-api)

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/gate2026-iitg/`
**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
