Object Types

Several attribute endpoints take an object type: what kind of object the attribute values belong to.

1. container: a whole area, made up of one or more geographies. Use it to read or change values for the entire area.

2. polygon: one geography inside an area (for example one postcode). Use it to read or change values for that geography only.

3. point: one point.

How values move between areas and geographies is described in Create areas and set attributes.
