In your app

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

Add the controller

app/Http/Controllers/LocalizeServiceAreaController.php
The other values are the example’s: take yours from the request, a form or your database.

Add the route

routes/web.php
It acts with your key’s access, so auth lets only your signed-in users reach it.

Call it

Your own page’s form or script sends POST /service-area/clx8m2k4p0000a1b2c3d4e5f6/localize (a form adds @csrf, as every web route checks it), and gets back its answer as JSON. Test it, below, calls it.
To keep the call in an Action instead, this writes app/Actions/Attract/LocalizeServiceArea.php (an invokable Action that calls localizeServiceArea()) and its test under tests/Feature/Actions/Attract/ (Pest when your app has it):
Terminal

Call it from the terminal

Terminal
It calls localizeServiceArea() on your default site and prints its answer as JSON. It writes, so it asks first: add --force to skip the question in a script. See Call any method from the terminal for every argument type. Answers that copy. 409 conflict when one exists and update is not true.

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.
Laravel
Terminal
Pass $row['id'] as id. Drafts: list with aposMode: 'draft' to get the draft’s id (Find an id).

Required parameters

Named arguments, e.g. localizeServiceArea(id: …); leave out the optional ones.
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).
string
required
Required. The locale to copy it into: a configured locale, not the current one.
?bool
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. Overwrite the copy if one already exists there (default false: 409 conflict instead).
A ServiceArea (Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Data\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.
Enums\Mode|string|null
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. How is this area defined? One of zips, polygon; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
?int
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. Sort position — and where areas overlap, the LOWEST number wins the click/search result.
?bool
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. Turn off to keep the area saved but leave it off the map.
?string
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. 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.
Collection<int, ServiceAreaShapesItem>|null
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. 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
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. The URL name: lowercase words joined by hyphens (letters outside a–z, even emoji, are kept).
Enums\Visibility|string|null
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. Select whether this content is public or private. One of public, loginRequired; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
?string
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.
?string
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.
?float
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. The amount shown for this area (0 shows the map section’s “included” label). Use the label below for anything non-standard.
?string
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. Optional. Shown instead of the formatted price — e.g. “From $40” or “Call for pricing”.
?string
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. Optional. Leave empty to assign a color from the site palette automatically.
?string
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. Optional short text shown when a visitor clicks this area (or finds it via search).
Collection<int, ServiceAreaPublicNamesItem>|null
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. 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).
Enums\ServiceAreaSource|string|null
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. 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
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. Internal id of the seed/import that created this row. Empty for manually created areas.
?bool
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. In the archive: kept, but out of every list and off the site until it is restored. false (or null) for a live document.
?CarbonImmutable
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. When it was created (ISO 8601). Format: an ISO 8601 date and time.
?CarbonImmutable
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. When it last changed (ISO 8601). Format: an ISO 8601 date and time.
?string
Sometimes sent: null when the site leaves it out. 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 Laravel logs and renders the rest (see Errors and testing).
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().
409
A copy already exists in that locale: send update: true to overwrite 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
Attract::site('acme') named a slug that isn’t under sites in config/fetchski-attract.php.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: getMessage(), $e->slug.
setup
The site’s config entry is wrong: no url, a malformed api_key, a key filed under another slug, or no default site.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: getMessage() (what to fix).

Behavior

  • Access: an API key with content:service-areas:write (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 in config/fetchski-attract.php for longer.

Test it

It calls the route above with the SDK faked: the fake answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no config or key is needed. Save it as tests/Feature/LocalizeServiceAreaTest.php, then run your tests:
tests/Feature/LocalizeServiceAreaTest.php
Terminal
Answer with your own values: fake serviceAreas.localizeServiceArea with ServiceArea::factory()->make([...]), the fields you give over a valid example.
tests/Feature/LocalizeServiceAreaAnswerTest.php

List a service area’s locales

Attract::serviceAreas()->getServiceAreaLocales()

POST /service-area/{_id}/localize

The endpoint this calls, in the API reference: the HTTP request and answer, and every rule the site checks.
