Service Areas

Create a service area

Create a new service area.

Access: an API key with content:service-areas:write (or a master above it: content:service-areas:all, content:all, admin:all). In published mode (the default) it goes live too, so the key also needs content:service-areas:publish (or a master above it); send aposMode=draft to change only the draft. 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.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Paste your API key as the CMS showed it: fsk_<site>_<key id>_<secret> (issued under API Keys). ApiKey in front of it works too. Leave it empty to read as the public.

Scopes

content:service-areas:write

Query Parameters

aposMode

enum<string>

default:published

published (the default) or draft. Drafts need a credential that may see them: an API key with the type’s write scope (content:<type>:write), or a signed-in editor. The public and a key with only the read scope get 403.

Available options:

draft,

published

aposLocale

string

The locale to read or write, e.g. en (default: the site’s default locale).

Example:

"fr"

Body

application/json

ServiceArea content type

title

string

default:""

required

Its title: the name it goes by in every list, and the heading of its page where it has one.

mode

enum<string> | null

default:zips

How is this area defined?

Available options:

zips,

polygon,

null

priority

integer | null

default:0

Sort position — and where areas overlap, the LOWEST number wins the click/search result.

active

boolean | null

default:true

Turn off to keep the area saved but leave it off the map.

zipCodes

string | null

default:""

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.

shapes

Area shape · object[] | null

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.

Show child attributes

slug

string | null

default:""

The URL name: lowercase words joined by hyphens (letters outside a–z, even emoji, are kept).

visibility

enum<string> | null

default:public

Select whether this content is public or private

Available options:

public,

loginRequired,

null

scheduledPublish

string | null

An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.

An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.

Optional. Leave empty to assign a color from the site palette automatically.

description

default:""

Optional short text shown when a visitor clicks this area (or finds it via search).

Public place names · object[] | null

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).

Show child attributes

archived

boolean | null

default:false

In the archive: kept, but out of every list and off the site until it is restored. false (or null) for a live document.
