Here is my query:

{location(name:“AK03101”){data {name id}}}

Here is the result:

{“data”:{“location”:{“request\_id”:“64cc54242637419180e9c150”,“data”:null}},“extensions”:{“throttling”:{“estimated\_complexity”:2,“cost”:1,“cost\_detail”:{“location”:{“items\_count”:0,“cost”:1,“total\_cost”:1,“fields”:{}}},“user\_quota”:{“credits\_remaining”:1892,“max\_available”:2002,“increment\_rate”:30}}}}

I am using a 3PL parent API key. I have confirmed the location exists:

Why is the location query data returning null ?

Hey @bbarrett,

Thanks for hanging in there!

I’ve gone ahead and made an Engineering Ticket regarding this issue. I did notice that I was able to query this location by ID instead as a temporary work around.

```auto

{
  location(id:"7829680") {
    request_id
    complexity
    data {
      id
      legacy_id
      account_id
      warehouse_id
    }
  }
}

```

I’ll update you here when a fix has been released for querying by name for this location.

Best,  
RayanP

I need to query by name to get the id. So, I really need the location query by name to work as intended. It would appear that this same problem has been reported previously. Please encourage your team to provide a fix. It appears to be a bug.
