get mainAddress from a location record using rest API

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To get the

mainAddress

from a location record using the REST API, you can use the

GET

method on the

record/v1/location/{id}

endpoint. However, the

mainAddress

field is a subrecord, and the REST API does not directly support subrecords. In the SuiteScript API, you can access subrecords using the

viewSubrecord

method, as mentioned in one of the threads:

locationRec.viewSubrecord('mainaddress');

. But this method is not available in the REST API. As a workaround, you can create a Suitelet or a RESTlet in SuiteScript that retrieves the

mainAddress

subrecord and then call this Suitelet or RESTlet from your external application. Here is a sample SuiteScript code for a Suitelet that retrieves the

mainAddress

subrecord:

javascript
/**
 * Suitelet
 * @NApiVersion 2.x
 * @NScriptType Suitelet
 * @NModuleScope SameAccount
 */
define(['N/record'], function(record) {
    function onRequest(context) {
        if (context.request.method === 'GET') {
            var locationId = context.request.parameters.id;
            var locationRec = record.load({
                type: record.Type.LOCATION,
                id: locationId
            });
            var mainAddressSubrecord = locationRec.getSubrecord({
                fieldId: 'mainaddress'
            });
            context.response.write(JSON.stringify(mainAddressSubrecord));
        }
    }
    return {
        onRequest: onRequest
    };
});

Remember to replace

{id}

with the actual ID of the location record you want to retrieve. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
