Start your first LocalCMO API request

Use the resources and authentication method listed in the current documentation. Before you send anything, confirm the workspace, client, or location scope and begin with one request you can inspect.

Purpose and evidence

Choose one documented resource

Pick a resource and operation shown in the current documentation. Define the single result you want to inspect before you add loops, queues, or customer-facing changes.

01

Keep the request inside the right account

Use the documented authentication method and confirm which workspace, client, location, and permission the request belongs to.

  • Documented authentication method
  • Workspace or client scope
  • Location identifier
  • Required permission
02

Check the response before you automate

Read the returned status, fields, identifiers, and missing values. Save enough context to connect the response to the request that produced it.

03

Handle errors without guessing

Keep the returned error, validation detail, request context, and retry decision together. Do not treat an accepted request as proof that a third-party change completed.

How it works

From a documented resource to one checked response

This quickstart keeps the request, account scope, response, and error path visible before automation is added.

  1. 01

    Choose a documented resource

    Match the task to a resource and operation that appear in the current documentation.

  2. 02

    Set the account scope

    Confirm the workspace, client, location, user, and permission before building the request.

  3. 03

    Send one test request

    Start with one request whose inputs and expected response you can check by hand.

  4. 04

    Read the response or error

    Record the returned status, identifiers, values, and validation details without filling in missing information.

  5. 05

    Add automation after verification

    Expand the integration only after the same request behaves as expected for the intended account and permission.

Important limits

What the public API documentation does not confirm

  • The public page can confirm only the resources, operations, and authentication method that the current documentation lists.
  • Account permissions, write access, request limits, provider behavior, and production readiness must be verified for the intended integration.
  • A successful API response does not by itself prove that a third-party publisher accepted or completed a change.

Common questions

local SEO API documentation FAQ

Where should I start with the LocalCMO API?

Choose one resource and operation listed in the current documentation, then send a request you can inspect before adding automation.

How should I scope a request?

Confirm the workspace, client, location, user, and permission required by the documented resource. Do not assume one account's scope applies to another.

What should I keep from a response?

Keep the request context, returned status, identifiers, fields, missing values, and any validation or error detail needed to reproduce the result.

Does an accepted request mean a publisher changed?

Not necessarily. Keep API acceptance, execution state, provider response, and the customer-visible result as separate checks.

Use a real example

Check one request from input to response

Choose a documented resource, keep the account scope explicit, and save the response or error before adding automation.
