In your app

A function makes the call on the client it is given, so your code passes the real one and a test passes a fake.

Add the function

src/attract/update-service-area.ts

Call it

A script makes the client once and calls the function:
scripts/update-service-area.ts
Terminal
A route handler, a job or a queue worker calls it the same way.

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.
TypeScript
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. updateServiceArea({ 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).
AposMode | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "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. One of draft, published.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. The locale to read or write, e.g. en (default: the site’s default locale).
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "". Its title: the name it goes by in every list, and the heading of its page where it has one.
Mode | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "zips". How is this area defined? One of zips, polygon.
number | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses 0. Sort position — and where areas overlap, the LOWEST number wins the click/search result.
boolean | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses true. Turn off to keep the area saved but leave it off the map.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "". 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 | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. 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 | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "". The URL name: lowercase words joined by hyphens (letters outside a–z, even emoji, are kept).
Visibility | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "public". Select whether this content is public or private. One of public, loginRequired.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. 2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z.
number | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses 0. The amount shown for this area (0 shows the map section’s “included” label). Use the label below for anything non-standard.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "". Optional. Shown instead of the formatted price — e.g. “From $40” or “Call for pricing”.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. Optional. Leave empty to assign a color from the site palette automatically.
string | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses "". Optional short text shown when a visitor clicks this area (or finds it via search).
readonly ServiceAreaPublicNamesItem[] | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out (or pass null) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. 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).
boolean | null | undefined
Optional. Leave it out and the site uses 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.
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.

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.

Nothing to catch: the SDK retries what is safe, and throws the rest as the classes below; catch only what you want to react to (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.
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 your sites (createSiteClients()) don’t have.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message, slug.
setup
The client’s settings are wrong: no FETCHSKI_ATTRACT_URL (or baseUrl), or a malformed API key.Retried first: No: nothing was sent. Read: message (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). 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 (or a draft _id and no aposMode) 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. 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) on the client for longer.

Test it

It calls the function above with a fake client: the fake answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no settings or key are needed. Run it with node --test.
tests/serviceAreas-updateServiceArea.test.ts
Answer with your own values: fake serviceAreas.updateServiceArea with factories.ServiceArea({...}), the fields you give over a valid example.
tests/serviceAreas-updateServiceArea-answer.test.ts
