Locations (Legacy): Search

path Parameters
accountId
required
string
query Parameters
v
required
string

A date in YYYYMMDD format.

limit
integer <= 50
Default: 10

Number of results to return.

offset
integer <= 9950
Default: 0

Number of results to skip. Used to page through results.

filters
string

A set of filters that is applied to the set of locations that would otherwise be returned. Should be provided as a URL-encoded string containing a JSON array. The array should have one or more filter objects defined. All filter objects will apply as an intersection (i.e., AND). Field names reference Location fields, as well as custom fields using the format custom###, where "###" is the custom field’s id.

For example, to provide a filter that would match location names containing the word "gourmet", the filter parameter would be [{"name":{"contains":["gourmet"]}}], which URL-encoded would be %5B%7B%22name%22%3A%7B%22contains%22%3A%5B%22gourmet%22%5D%7D%7D%5D.

NOTE: "x", "xx", and "xxx" are reserved keywords that, when passed in a contains matcher for a Full or Text filter, will cause that filter to match on all locations.

The filter types are the following. Note there may be multiple available specifications for a given filter type:
