The Location Selection API is called using gRPC or REST.
While using this guide, you might want to have the
Location Selection API reference
open in a second window for convenience.
The examples in this guide are in Java. The implementation is similar in other
languages. The Location Selection API adheres to Google's
API Design Guide and its resource-
oriented style. Familiarity with
Custom Methods may
make the API more accessible.
