# Cited property-fraud alert and title-protection pointers

`POST /api/locus_fraud_alert_pointer`

## Request

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

Registry-backed title-protection rows for a resolved US place, in local, then state, then national order, for buyer, owner and lender agents. If no local row exists, adds neutral recorder or clerk search guidance after state and national rows; it never claims an unlisted county runs an alert service.
Use this when you can call Locus free tools (REST tools/call or MCP).
Use locus-fraud-alert-pointer instead when your client can only call paid x402 routes; it returns the same records. 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.

## Request body

  - `address` string: US street address or ZIP used to resolve state, county, and city program rows.
  - `place` string: US city, county, state, ZIP, or address used to resolve program rows.

## Response `200`
