# Create a location

Add a new location in gospace to represent a physical site or office, providing the foundation for layers, spaces, and allocations.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Node.js" %}

### Prerequisites

* Completed **Setup Your Development Environment** and **Send Your First API Request**
* Node.js v18+ and npm v9+
* A valid gospace API key in your `.env` file

### 1. Create the script

Create `create-location.ts`:

```ts
import "dotenv/config";
import GospaceAI from "@gospace-ai/api";

async function main() {
  const gospace = new GospaceAI(process.env.GOSPACE_API_KEY!);

  const res = await gospace.spatial.createLocations({
    locations: [
      {
        name: "New Office",
        country: {
          country_id: "GB_ID",
          name: "United Kingdom",
          iso2: "GB",
          selected_timezone: "Europe/London",
          timezones: ["Europe/London"],
        },
        address: {
          postal_code: "EC2V 6DN",
          country_name: "UK",
          line1: "1 Example St",
          line2: "Suite 100",
        },
        coords: { latitude: 51.514, longitude: -0.093 },
        external_id: "new-office-1",
      },
    ],
  });

  console.log(JSON.stringify(res.data, null, 2));
}

main().catch((err) => {
  console.error("Request failed:", err);
  process.exit(1);
});
```

### 2. Run the script

With TypeScript:

```bash
npx tsx create-location.ts
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
