# Cited utility credits and infrastructure cost-share programs

`POST /api/locus_utility_credits`

## Request

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

Utility credits, energy rebates, lead service-line, sidewalk cost-share, and flood-protection rebates from a place registry, for buyer, owner and lender agents. Returns registry rows, plus a jurisdiction-locked official-source query pack for uncovered places. No individual determination, recommendation, or savings estimate.
Use this when you can call Locus free tools (REST tools/call or MCP).
Use locus-utility-credits 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

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