## Endpoints

### aggregate_tag_counts

Aggregate tag usage frequency across a set of models from search results. Fetches detail pages for each model and counts tag occurrences. Useful for discovering trending tags in a topic area. Keep limit low for speed since it costs one detail fetch per model.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `limit` | integer | No | Number of models to process for tag aggregation (max 50). |
| `query` | string | No | Optional search query to limit aggregation to specific results. If empty, aggregates across popular models. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/parse-thingiverse-com-api-194b685a/aggregate_tag_counts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOCUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"limit":"<integer>","query":"<string>"}'
```

### get_model_details

Retrieve full details for a single Thingiverse model (thing) by its numeric ID. Returns description HTML, tags, downloadable files with extracted file formats, license, and engagement counts. Costs one fetch per model.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `thing_id` | string | Yes | Numeric ID of the model (thing), e.g. '763622'. Obtainable from search_models results. |

```bash

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

### search_models

Full-text search over Thingiverse 3D model catalog. Results are paginated and sortable. Each hit includes basic model metadata (name, creator, engagement counts, thumbnail). For full details (description, tags, files), call the details navigation on a returned summary.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
