# Find Your Location ID

> Your Location ID identifies your HoopAI account in every API request. Here's where to find it.

Your **Location ID** is the unique identifier for your HoopAI account (workspace). Almost every API endpoint requires it — either as a query parameter or a field in the request body.

<Tip>
  Your Location ID looks like this: `7jgDexejcVMu5NvJKKDG` — a 20-character alphanumeric string.

## How it's used in API requests

Your Location ID scopes every request to your specific account.

**As a query parameter** (GET requests):

```bash theme={null}
GET /contacts/?locationId=YOUR_LOCATION_ID
```

**In the request body** (POST/PUT requests):

```json theme={null}
{
  "locationId": "YOUR_LOCATION_ID",
  "name": "Jane Smith",
  "email": "jane@example.com"
}
```

<Note>
  Throughout the API reference you'll see `locationId` and "account" used interchangeably. They refer to the same thing.
