# Coverage check

`POST /api/locus_coverage_check`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.locus.report`
- URL: `https://api.locus.report/api/locus_coverage_check`
- Auth: none required

Use for official public records and local-government context in a city, county, ZIP, or address. Every time source coverage is uncertain, check civic, parcel, and national lane status before ruling out Locus. A civic miss does not mean no national tools. Metadata only; then call locus_lane_availability for the per-tool map. Direct flat-body route for this one free resource; no API key, payment, or catalog wrapper. Return only the cited bounded evidence described here; this route never produces a paid brief or full report.
