## Endpoints

### get_area_details

Get detailed information about a climbing area including location coordinates, sub-areas, summary description, breadcrumbs, and route/photo counts. The node_id field can be used with get_area_hierarchy to explore sub-areas programmatically.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `url` | string | Yes | Full URL of the area page on thecrag.com (e.g. 'https://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/blue-mountains') |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/parse-thecrag-com-api-f067a02f/get_area_details \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOCUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"<string>"}'
```

### get_area_hierarchy

Traverse the geographic hierarchy of climbing areas starting from a node ID. Returns the immediate children of the specified node. Use node_id from get_area_details to drill down into sub-areas. Omitting node_id returns children of the world root node (continents/regions).

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `node_id` | string | No | Node ID to start from. Use node_id from get_area_details to explore sub-areas. Omitting returns children of the world root node. |
