We've just released our new [locations catalog endpoint](/en/docs/api-reference/catalog/get_catalog_locations_v0), making it simple to find and search through location data when you need precise geographic targeting.

This is especially useful when you're integrating our API into your application and want to use location-based filtering:

1.  A user searches for "Paris" in your app
2.  Your system calls [GET `/v0/catalog/locations?name=Paris`](/en/docs/api-reference/catalog/get_catalog_locations_v0) to get Paris's location ID
3.  You use that ID with our **[Jobs endpoint](/en/docs/api-reference/jobs/search_jobs_v1)** using `"job_location_or": [{"id": "XXX"}]` to return jobs only in Paris

The workflow is straightforward and keeps the complexity hidden from your users.
