In your app

A controller answers a route on your app: it calls unpublishServiceArea() and returns the answer.

Add the controller

app/controllers/unpublish_service_area_controller.ts

Add the route

start/routes.ts
Put it behind your auth middleware (.use(middleware.auth())): it acts with your key’s access.

Call it

Your own page’s form or script sends POST /service-area/clx8m2k4p0000a1b2c3d4e5f6/unpublish and gets back its answer as JSON. Test it, below, calls it.
Answers the draft. Not for singleton types (the site’s global content).

Find the id

id is the document’s _id, from a list. Ask the list for only the fields you need: each row is a document’s id and those fields.
AdonisJS
Pass row.id as id. Drafts: list with { aposMode: 'draft' } to get the draft’s id (Find an id).

Required parameters

One object, e.g. unpublishServiceArea({ id }); leave out the optional fields.
string
required
Required. The document’s _id: a full id names its own locale and mode (the draft’s …:en:draft, the published one’s …:en:published; no aposMode needed), a bare aposDocId takes the request’s (aposLocale, aposMode).
A ServiceArea. ServiceArea content type. Read its properties (serviceArea.title): each says whether the site always sends it. The example answer is the site’s wire JSON: one key differs from the property names (_id → id).
string
Always sent. Its title: the name it goes by in every list, and the heading of its page where it has one.
string
Always sent. The document’s id. On a type with drafts it ends in its locale and mode (…:en:published, …:en:draft): the part before the first colon is its aposDocId, shared by both copies. The {_id} the type’s routes take.
string
Always sent. The document type’s name: always this type’s.
Mode | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. How is this area defined? One of zips, polygon; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
number | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Sort position — and where areas overlap, the LOWEST number wins the click/search result.
boolean | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Turn off to keep the area saved but leave it off the map.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. One or more 5-digit zip codes, separated by commas, spaces or new lines. The map shape is generated automatically from public zip-boundary data.
readonly ServiceAreaShapesItem[] | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. A list of ServiceAreaShapesItem. One or more shapes for this area. Paste coordinates (or draw on the map once a Google Maps key is configured); each shape needs at least 3 points.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. The URL name: lowercase words joined by hyphens (letters outside a–z, even emoji, are kept).
Visibility | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Select whether this content is public or private. One of public, loginRequired; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.
number | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. The amount shown for this area (0 shows the map section’s “included” label). Use the label below for anything non-standard.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Optional. Shown instead of the formatted price — e.g. “From $40” or “Call for pricing”.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Optional. Leave empty to assign a color from the site palette automatically.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Optional short text shown when a visitor clicks this area (or finds it via search).
readonly ServiceAreaPublicNamesItem[] | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. A list of ServiceAreaPublicNamesItem. Optional. The real-world places this area covers — e.g. “Brooklyn” or “Albany County”. Zone names like “Zone A” mean nothing to search engines; these names are what gets published as structured data (with structured data enabled in Site settings → SEO).
ServiceAreaSource | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Set automatically. “Demo placeholder” rows are removed the moment a real service area is published. “Zip feed import” rows were created by Import Zones from Zip Feed and get their zips/price refreshed on re-import. One of manual, demo, zipFeed; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. Internal id of the seed/import that created this row. Empty for manually created areas.
boolean | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. In the archive: kept, but out of every list and off the site until it is restored. false (or null) for a live document.
Date | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. When it was created (ISO 8601). Format: an ISO 8601 date and time.
Date | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. When it last changed (ISO 8601). Format: an ISO 8601 date and time.
string | null
Sometimes sent: undefined when the site leaves it out, and it can be null. The draft’s preview share key, while its share link is on: the link is the draft’s _url with aposShareKey and aposShareId (the draft’s _id) in its query. Absent otherwise, and on published documents.
Nothing to catch: the SDK retries what is safe, and throws the rest as the classes below. Your exception handler turns them into your app’s own answers, once for every call (see Map SDK errors to responses); catch only what you want to react to here.
400
The site refused what was sent: errors lists each field’s problem, siteMessage the first.Retried first: No. Read: errors (field → messages), siteMessage.
401
The API key is missing or refused (malformed, revoked, expired), or a signature its signing mode needs is missing or stale.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
403
The key may not do this: a scope it lacks, or an address outside its allowlist. siteMessage names it.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
404
Nothing matches, or the caller may not see it.Retried first: No. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
500
The site failed. Its logs say why.Retried first: No: a write may have landed. Read: siteMessage, errorName, data.
no answer
No answer: DNS, a refused connection, TLS, or the timeout (15 s per attempt by default).Retried first: Only when nothing reached the site (neverConnected()); never after a timeout, when it may have landed. Read: reason, neverConnected.
not sent
The client refused to send it (e.g. a path segment of ..); the site never saw it.Retried first: No. Read: reason (what to change).
any other
Any other status, or a success whose JSON doesn’t match this SDK version’s types (update the SDK).Retried first: No. Read: reason, status.
setup
sites.forSite('acme') named a slug config/attract.ts doesn’t list (with the keys in the database: no row in attract_api_keys).Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message, slug.
setup
The site’s entry is wrong: a malformed baseUrl or key, a key filed under another slug, or no default site. node ace attract:check names the fix.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message (what to fix).

Behavior

  • Access: an API key with content:service-areas:publish (or a master above it: content:service-areas:all, content:all, admin:all). A signed-in person may call it as far as their own permissions allow; anyone else gets 403.
  • Rate limit: the key’s own writes-per-minute limit, set when the key is created (default 120); over it, 429 with Retry-After. The client waits and retries for you; you see RateLimited only if that runs out.
  • Retries: a write is sent again only after a 429 (refused before it acted) or when it never reached the site. After a timeout or a 5xx it may have landed: check before you send it again.
  • Timeout: 15 s per attempt by default; raise timeout (milliseconds) in config/attract.ts for longer.

Test it

It calls the controller above with the SDK faked: fakeAttract() puts the fake in the container for this one test, and it answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no key is read. Save it as tests/unit/service_areas_unpublish_service_area.spec.ts, then run your tests:
tests/unit/service_areas_unpublish_service_area.spec.ts
Terminal
Answer with your own values: fake serviceAreas.unpublishServiceArea with factories.ServiceArea({...}), the fields you give over a valid example.
tests/unit/service_areas_unpublish_service_area_answers.spec.ts
