## Request body

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `geo_location` | string,null | no | Location code from the STX geolocation check, covering this cancel. Read only in environments that enforce geo-fencing, and ignored elsewhere. Where it is read, omitting it is a 422 (`Placing Order(s) from this IP address … is disallowed.`) unless that environment accepts the network location the request arrives from in its place, which it can refuse for an address identified as a VPN, proxy or hosting provider. Do not rely on omitting it: send the code whenever you have one. A code that is sent is always checked, so a bad one is a 422 even where omitting it would have been accepted. |
