Locations .: List by Merchant

API Reference / v15

List a Merchant’s Locations

This endpoint returns a list of a merchant’s locations. If invisible (non-live) locations are desired, merchant authorization must be used. The response is paginated, and the “Link” header in the API response contains the URL for the next page of results.

By default, with no fulfillment_types parameter passed in, this endpoint only returns locations with in-store payments. Include the fulfillment_types query parameter to show locations that support specific fullfillment_types such as ‘in-store’, 'pickup’ or 'delivery’. Locations will be returned if they meet any of the supplied criteria.

You may optionally include lat and lng query parameters to order results by increasing distance from those coordinates.

If you supply image[width], image[height], and image[density] query parameters, the response will include an image_url attribute for each location. Otherwise, image_url will be null. See the documentation for the “Show a Location’s Image” endpoint for a list of accepted image dimensions.

If there is another page of results, the response will be HTTP 200 OK with a Link header containing the URL to the next page. The header looks like this:

Link: <https://api.thelevelup.com/v15/merchants/:merchant_id/locations?page=2>; rel="next"

If you’ve reached the last page of results, the response will be HTTP 204 No Content.

Authorization Optional – Merchant Token in Header

Authorization: token merchant="123456-75489120749..."

List more locations

To keep this example simple, assume that each page of results only includes 2 locations. Fields other than id and updated_at are hidden. Response headers other than “Link” are also not shown.

For the very first page of results, the client simply requests /v15/merchants/1234/locations.

Request: /v15/merchants/1234/locations

Response Headers

Link: <https://api.thelevelup.com/v15/merchants/1234/locations?lat=42.405736&lng=-71.13081&page=2>; rel="next"

Status Code: 200 OK

Body:

[
  {
    "location": {
      "id": 1,
      "updated_at": "2014-01-01T00:00:00-04:00",
      ...
    }
  },
  {
    "location": {
      "id": 2,
      "updated_at": "2014-01-01T12:00:00-04:00",
      ...
    }
  }
]

Note that the “Link” header contains the ID and timestamp of the last location in the list.

The client remembers the value of the “Link” header, and uses it to retrieve the next page of results:

Request: https://api.thelevelup.com/v15/merchants/1234/locations?lat=42.405736&lng=-71.13081&page=2

Response Headers:

Link: <https://api.thelevelup.com/v15/merchants/1234/locations?lat=42.405736&lng=-71.13081&page=3>; rel="next"

Status Code: 200 OK

Body:

[
  {
    "location": {
      "id": 3,
      "updated_at": "2014-01-01T12:00:00-04:00",
      ...
    }
  },
  {
    "location": {
      "id": 4,
      "updated_at": "2014-01-02T00:00:00-04:00",
      ...
    }
  }
]

Finally the next (and currently last) page of results:

Request: https://api.thelevelup.com/v15/merchants/1234/locations?lat=42.405736&lng=-71.13081&page=3

Response Headers: (Does not include a Link header.)

Status Code: 204 No Content

Body: (empty)

Since the client got a 204 response, it knows that it is done retrieving updates for now. If it stores this most recent URL, then it can use this the next time it wants to start retrieving updates, and if it gets back a 200 response, it can continue paginating until it gets back a 204 again.
