Could I set a specific level (ie: country, city) when I search Location ID for Location Name when using "LocationCriterionService"?

[李友良]

According to the example: lookup_location.py, I can see the selector like this when I need to find the location ID:

location_names = ['Paris']

selector = {

      'fields': ['Id', 'LocationName', 'DisplayType', 'CanonicalName', 'ParentLocations', 'Reach', 'TargetingStatus'],

      'predicates': [{

          'field': 'LocationName',

          'operator': 'IN',

          'values': location_names

      }, {

          'field': 'Locale',

          'operator': 'EQUALS',

          'values': ['en']

      }]

  }

The printed results:

The search term 'Paris' returned the location 'Paris' of type 'City' with parent locations 'Ile-de-France (Region), France (Country)', reach '20800000' and id '1006094' (ACTIVE)

The search term 'Paris' returned the location '75012' of type 'Postal Code' with parent locations 'Ile-de-France (Region), France (Country)', reach '7080000' and id '9056136' (ACTIVE)

The search term 'Paris' returned the location '89109' of type 'Postal Code' with parent locations 'Nevada (State), United States (Country)', reach '4640000' and id '9030795' (ACTIVE)

The search term 'Paris' returned the location 'Paris' of type 'City' with parent locations 'Kentucky (State), United States (Country)', reach '31000' and id '1017861' (ACTIVE)

So I know the filterable fields include: Locale, LocationName

However, in the API reference documentation: LocationCriterionService.LocationCriterion, the filterable fields is: Locale, CountryCode.

Does the doc miss LocationName?

And because it will return many results in different level as response, so I wonder is there any filterable fields could set a specific level in selector?

Hi, 

As stated here, the locationName field is filterable only in LocationCriterionService and cannot be greater than 300 characters if used as a filter. I'm afraid the displayType field is not filterable. You could consider filtering out values from the response based on the displayType of each locationCriterion.
