| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `latitude` | `number` | 41.881943 |
| `locations` | `array` | 3 items |
| `locations` | `array` | 3 items |
| `longitude` | `number` | -87.630976 |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
