# /locations

`POST /locations`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.securevan.com/v4`
- URL: `https://api.securevan.com/v4/locations`
- Auth: HTTP basic

Use this endpoint to create a new Location.

Typically it’s more appropriate to [find or create](ref:locations#locationsfindorcreate) a Location because you may not know whether a very similar Location already exists (e.g., was created in the VAN UI).

If successful, the endpoint responds with HTTP Status Code `201 Created`. It also sets the **Location** header to the [location](ref:location#locationslocationid) of the Location.
