Locations

In order to filter by specific locations in a Query, Rule or when retrieving Mentions, you must make a call to a specific endpoint to search for the appropriate IDs.

Required Parameters

Parameter	Definition	Accepted Values
`type`	Defines what type of location you are searching for	`city` `region` `country` `continent`
`prefix`	A search term of what the location begins with	String, i.e "usa"

The following call retrieves a list of locations which contain the prefix usa:

curl -X GET 'https://api.brandwatch.com/locations?type=region&prefix=usa'

And the response would look something like this, where the id is used when creating a Query, Rule or retrieving Mentions to either include or exclude this location.
