(Required, string) The ID of the agent policy associated with the private location.

Example

edit

Here is an example of a POST request to create a private location:

POST /api/private_locations
{
  "label": "Private Location 1",
  "agentPolicyId": "abcd1234",
  "tags": ["private", "testing"],
  "geo": {
    "lat": 40.7128,
    "lon": -74.0060
  }
}

The API returns the created private location as follows:

{
  "id": "abcd1234",
  "label": "Private Location 1",
  "agentPolicyId": "abcd1234",
  "tags": ["private", "testing"],
  "geo": {
    "lat": 40.7128,
    "lon": -74.0060
  }
}

If the agentPolicyId is already used by an existing private location, or if the label already exists, the API will return a 400 Bad Request response with a corresponding error message.
