Summary

Creates a new location in Infoblox Universal DDI (Infrastructure API) by sending a POST to /api/infra/v1/locations with a body built from mapped fields and optional JSON.

Inputs

  • dataFields (required) — Resource mapper listing writable fields loaded from the Infoblox 'Locations' API schema (required fields first; id and read-only fields are skipped). Supports auto-mapping from input data. If the schema can't be loaded, use JSON Body instead.
  • jsonBody — JSON object merged over the mapped fields (JSON values win on key conflicts). Use for fields not in the schema. Defaults to {}.
  • queryParameters — Extra name/value query-string parameters appended to the POST request.

Output shape

One output item per input item, containing the API's response for the created location (typically the new location record).

Non-object responses are wrapped as {result: value}. With Continue On Fail, errors are returned as {error: message} for that item. Requires Infoblox CSP API credentials.

Examples

Example 1: Register a new datacenter location for on-prem hosts

Resource: Location, Operation: Create; map name (and other schema fields such as address details) in Fields.

Example 2: Create a location using a field not in the schema

Leave Fields minimal (e.g. name) and set JSON Body to {"name":"HQ","description":"Main office"}.
