Request Headers

Header	Value
Content-Type	application/json

Request Body

Field	Description
name string required	Name of the Saved Location. E.g. My Location
description string	Description of the location.
location_code string	An optional identifier for your location. The intention here is to use your own identifier for the location if you have one. E.g., you might have stores/hotels/etc in your system with their own ID - use that ID here to make it easier to lookup the location later.
labels array	A list of labels to help you categorize your locations. You can use these labels to search upon. E.g. { "labels": ["label1", "label2"] }
geojson object	You can define the geolocation of the Saved Location either by GeoJSON or Place IDs. When using GeoJSON please note the following: Currently we support Point type locations only. Remember that GeoJSON coordinates are ordered longitude then latitude. We require a radius to be defined using a special set of properties on the GeoJSON record. As in the example below, these are radius and radius_unit. The radius property should be a numeric value. The radius_unit property can be one of m (meters), km (kilometers), ft (feet), mi (miles). As always, we strongly recommend using our Suggested Radius API to work out a suitable radius value for your location. E.g. { "geojson": { "type": "Feature", "properties": { "radius": 1, "radius_unit": "mi" }, "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [ -115.1728484, 36.1147065 ] } } }
place_ids array	You can define the geolocation of the Saved Location either by GeoJSON or Place IDs. The Place IDs option is typically used when the location covers an entire city, county, state or country. Use our Places API to search for the correct Place ID. E.g. { "place_ids": [2750405] }
