Venue Setup

Creating a Venue with SDK Access

When creating a venue via the Partner API, include sdkAccess: "true" to automatically generate an accessKey and enable the Listing & Review product.

Important

The sdkAccess parameter is required. Without it, the venue will not have SDK access and no accessKey will be generated.

{
  "name": "Venue Name",
  "code": "your-venue-id",
  "country": "GB",
  "address": "Picadilly Circus",
  "city": "London",
  "postalCode": "W1J 9LL",
  "phoneNumber": "442072343456",
  "email": "venue@email.com",
  "url": "http://yourvenueurl.com",
  "latitude": "51.56797",
  "longitude": "-0.28122",
  "currency": "GBP",
  "timezone": "Europe/London",
  "sdkAccess": "true"
}

Managing the License

Once the venue is created, activate the Listing & Review license through the Partner API. Set the feature parameter to listing.

Data Master Source

Mozrest syncs venue data across multiple platforms (Google, Facebook, TripAdvisor, etc.). Each field is mapped to a source that determines where it can be edited.

Field rules

Rule	Behaviour
read_only	Displayed in the SDK form but cannot be edited (managed at the source)
hide	Not displayed in the SDK form but kept in Mozrest for sync purposes

Example

If "Business name" is managed on your platform (not in the SDK), configure:

Setting	Value
Field	business_name
Rule type	read_only
Source name	restaurant_name

The field will appear in the SDK as read-only, and changes must be made through your interface instead.
