**Category:** E-commerce | **Website:** [valpak.com/](https://valpak.com/) | **Docs:** [parse.bot/marketplace/8f95bd36-b4c7-41b1-a4e2-b983a06833f1/valpak-com-api](https://parse.bot/marketplace/8f95bd36-b4c7-41b1-a4e2-b983a06833f1/valpak-com-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/valpak/`
**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

### Search local coupons

Search for local coupons and deals near a US zip code. Returns brick-and-mortar business offers including restaurants, automotive services, personal care, home services, and more. Results are ordered by distance from the zip code center. An optional category narrows results to one business type. Each coupon includes the offer title, business name, distance, and a link to the full coupon details.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `category` | string | No | Filter coupons by business category. Omitted returns all categories. |
| `zip_code` | string | Yes | 5-digit US ZIP code (e.g. 90210). Leading zeros preserved. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/valpak/search-local-coupons \
