## Endpoints

### get_current_conditions

Retrieve current surf conditions and metadata for a specific spot. Includes rating, surf height, wind, weather, water temperature, swells, tide state, and camera availability. Returns a single snapshot of current conditions rather than a time series.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `spot_id` | string | Yes | Surfline spot ID |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/parse-surfline-com-api-1677d3e0/get_current_conditions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOCUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"spot_id":"<string>"}'
```

### get_spots_by_region

List surf spots within a specific region or subregion. Traverses the taxonomy tree to find all spots and returns their IDs, names, and coordinates. Example region IDs: Hawaii=58f7ed87dadb30820bb3c537, Europe=58f7eef8dadb30820bb5601b.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `region_id` | string | Yes | Surfline region/taxonomy ID |

  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOCUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"region_id":"<string>"}'
```

### get_surf_forecast

Retrieve detailed surf forecast for a specific spot. Returns wave height (min/max), swell components (height, period, direction, power), and other wave data for multiple timestamps. Each data point includes surf min/max in feet, human-readable size relation, swell breakdown, and probability. The interval parameter controls spacing between data points.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `days` | integer | No | Number of forecast days |
| `interval` | integer | No | Interval in hours between data points |
| `spot_id` | string | Yes | Surfline spot ID (e.g. 5842041f4e65fad6a7708ceb) |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/parse-surfline-com-api-1677d3e0/get_surf_forecast \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOCUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"days":"<integer>","interval":"<integer>","spot_id":"<string>"}'
```

### get_tide_forecast

Retrieve tide forecast for a specific surf spot. Returns tide height and type (HIGH/LOW/NORMAL) for multiple timestamps over the requested number of days.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"days":"<integer>","spot_id":"<string>"}'
```

### get_wind_forecast

Retrieve wind forecast for a specific surf spot. Returns wind speed, direction, direction type (Offshore/Onshore/Cross-shore), gust data, and optimal score for multiple timestamps. The interval parameter controls spacing between data points.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `days` | integer | No | Number of forecast days |
| `interval` | integer | No | Interval in hours between data points |
