Overview
The Location object represents a location where a practitioner practices.
Since more detailed information, like accepted insurances, is based on a practitioner and schedule level, the Location object purely contains location information (name, facility type, address, etc). However, you can leverage the location ids to find practitioners and schedules by location.
Index Version support
Read about the Index Versions concept here. By default, our API returns the locations of the schedules and practitioners we expose appointment booking capabilities for. This data is accessible using the idx_standard index.
You may want to use your own index version for a few different reasons:
- to manage your own internal provider directory, and maintain new or updated location information
- to modify the location data to update the address, coordinates, etc if the standard information seems incorrect
Use the Closure-Index-Version header to specify which Index Version you want to write to and read from.
