When retrieving the results of an HTTP Check I see request results for each location. The location is identified with a locationId, like below from “/synthetic/execution”.

```markup
{
    "monitorId": "HTTP_CHECK-ABB43CF5DB511A5D",
    "locationsExecutionResults": [
        {
            "locationId": "88",
            "executionId": "26726351503",
            "requestResults": [
            ....
        },
        {
            "locationId": "124",
            "executionId": "26726351345",
            "requestResults": [
            ....
        },

```

I would like to be able to tie that locationId value back to a named public/private location. There’s no similar field value in “/synthetic/locations”, or "/synthetic/locations/\<location id\>. Is there an easy way to tie that id to a location name/record?

That’s true, the location ID does not matchs the one we get from /synthetic/locations/ API

One way to match it is checking the execution result from Synthetic monitor details page in UI

In my tenant, the locationId 16 is meant for Virgnia.

Thanks, I can build out a static list of locationid’s from the UI and use that to tie the locationId from the API to a proper name.
