# Request coverage for a place

`POST /api/locus_request_coverage`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.locus.report`
- URL: `https://api.locus.report/api/locus_request_coverage`

Increments the demand counter for a place so coverage expansion follows constituent demand, for agents told that place is unsupported. Call this when locus_coverage_check says a place is unsupported. Stores aggregate counts only; no requester identity. 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.

- object
  - `place` string, required: Required ZIP, city, county, or address you want Locus to cover; use after coverage is unsupported.

## Response `200`

Free cited evidence response.
