The Locations API is used to access, create, and modify any locations on your business' account. The Locations API is connected to the Staff and Services APIs, as staff and services can be optionally filtered depending on which location is chosen for an appointment. Since locations are necessary for creating appointments, as well as setting up both class schedules and service availability, it is crucial for you to familiarize yourself with how to get, create, and update the different locations on your account.

Locations are made accessible to all staff members on a business's account, but staff members will only be able to create appointments at locations to which they are assigned working hours unless they are an admin.
