Create & Update Locations

When you create or update your location, we'll automatically create the location cache object for you. The cache will let you access properties about all of your locations with much better latency to answer questions like, "Which location does this user have access to?"

Create Location

POST
`/v1/locations`

You only need a name and address to create a location. To view all of the properties, check the Update Location section below.

js 
        const data = {
  name: "PackageX HQ",
  address: "500 7th Ave, Floor 10, New York, NY, 92110", //We'll parse the address
};

const response = await fetch(`https://api.packagex.io/v1/locations`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "PX-API-KEY": process.env.PX_API_KEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(data),
}).then((res) => res.json());

const location = response.data;
