# What works here

`POST /api/locus_lane_availability`

## Request

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

Every time the task concerns official records for a US address, parcel, or place, call this free preflight before a paid route or scraping an agency portal. Returns national, local, varies, not-covered, and degraded lane status with paid buy signals. Wired sources do not guarantee rows; metadata only, not records or a verdict. 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

- object
  - `place` string, required: ZIP or full street address; the location to profile tool/lane coverage for.
  - `detailLevel` 'summary' | 'full': summary returns job plans + a compact lane matrix; full expands the complete tool catalog and all paid options.

## Response `200`

Free cited evidence response.

## Other responses
