# Playable Locations API . v3

## Instance Methods

Close httplib2 connections.

Logs new events when playable locations are displayed, and when they are interacted with. Impressions are not partially saved; either all impressions are saved and this request succeeds, or no impressions are saved, and this request fails.

Logs bad playable location reports submitted by players. Reports are not partially saved; either all reports are saved and this request succeeds, or no reports are saved, and this request fails.

Returns a set of playable locations that lie within a specified area, that satisfy optional filter criteria. Note: Identical `SamplePlayableLocations` requests can return different results as the state of the world changes over time.

### Method Details

`logImpressions(body=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Logs new events when playable locations are displayed, and when they are interacted with. Impressions are not partially saved; either all impressions are saved and this request succeeds, or no impressions are saved, and this request fails.

Since players interact with differ types of game objects in different ways, this field allows you to segregate impression data by type for analysis.

`samplePlayableLocations(body=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Returns a set of playable locations that lie within a specified area, that satisfy optional filter criteria. Note: Identical `SamplePlayableLocations` requests can return different results as the state of the world changes over time.

    Args:
      body: object, The request body.
        The object takes the form of:

    { #  Life of a query: - When a game starts in a new location, your game server issues a SamplePlayableLocations request. The request specifies the S2 cell, and contains one or more "criteria" for filtering: - Criterion 0: i locations for long-lived bases, or level 0 monsters, or... - Criterion 1: j locations for short-lived bases, or level 1 monsters, ... - Criterion 2: k locations for random objects. - etc (up to 5 criterion may be specified). `PlayableLocationList` will then contain mutually exclusive lists of `PlayableLocation` objects that satisfy each of the criteria. Think of it as a collection of real-world locations that you can then associate with your game state. Note: These points are impermanent in nature. E.g, parks can close, and places can be removed. The response specifies how long you can expect the playable locations to last. Once they expire, you should query the `samplePlayableLocations` API again to get a fresh view of the real world.
      "areaFilter": { # Specifies the area to search for playable locations. # Required. Specifies the area to search within for playable locations.
        "s2CellId": "A String", # Required. The S2 cell ID of the area you want. This must be between cell level 11 and 14 (inclusive). S2 cells are 64-bit integers that identify areas on the Earth. They are hierarchical, and can therefore be used for spatial indexing. The S2 geometry library is available in a number of languages: * [C++](https://github.com/google/s2geometry) * [Java](https://github.com/google/s2-geometry-library-java) * [Go](https://github.com/golang/geo) * [Python](https://github.com/google/s2geometry/tree/master/src/python)
      },

          "fieldsToReturn": "A String", # Specifies which `PlayableLocation` fields are returned. `name` (which is used for logging impressions), `center_point` and `place_id` (or `plus_code`) are always returned. The following fields are omitted unless you specify them here: * snapped_point * types Note: The more fields you include, the more expensive in terms of data and associated latency your query will be.
          "filter": { # Specifies the filters to use when searching for playable locations. # Specifies filtering options, and specifies what will be included in the result set.

Inputs will be rounded up to the next 10 meter interval. The default value is 200m. Set this field to remove tight clusters of playable locations. Note: The spacing is a greedy algorithm. It optimizes for selecting the highest ranking locations first, not to maximize the number of locations selected. Consider the following scenario: * Rank: A: 2, B: 1, C: 3. * Distance: A--200m--B--200m--C If spacing=250, it will pick the highest ranked location [B], not [A, C]. Note: Spacing works within the game object type itself, as well as the previous ones. Suppose three game object types, each with the following spacing: * X: 400m, Y: undefined, Z: 200m. 1. Add locations for X, within 400m of each other. 2. Add locations for Y, without any spacing. 3. Finally, add locations for Z within 200m of each other as well X and Y. The distance diagram between those locations end up as: * From->To. * X->X: 400m * Y->X, Y->Y: unspecified. * Z->X, Z->Y, Z->Z: 200m.
              "pointType": "A String", # Specifies whether the minimum spacing constraint applies to the center-point or to the snapped point of playable locations. The default value is `CENTER_POINT`. If a snapped point is not available for a playable location, its center-point is used instead. Set this to the point type used in your game.
            },
          },
          "gameObjectType": 42, # Required. An arbitrary, developer-defined identifier of the type of game object that the playable location is used for. This field allows you to specify criteria per game object type when searching for playable locations. You should assign a unique `game_object_type` ID across all `request_criteria` to represent a distinct type of game object. For example, 1=monster location, 2=powerup location. The response contains a map.
