# Step 3: Filter by Locations

Next, you need to narrow the data to focus only on Germany.

# What is a location?

A location represents a geographic region where data was collected. For example,
the code `s2_49` corresponds to Germany.

To identify the correct location code for Germany, use the **Locations Filter Endpoint**:

<RequestExample>
  ```bash theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://api.globalwebindex.com/v2/locations/filter" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -d '{"namespaces": [{"code": "core"}]}'
  ```
</RequestExample>

<ResponseExample>
  ```json Response theme={null}
  {
    "locations": [
      {
        "id": "3",
        "iso_code": "arg",
        "name": "Argentina",
        "accessible": true,
        "code": "s2_54",
        "region": null,
        "namespaces": []
      },
      {
        "id": "31",
        "iso_code": "deu",
        "name": "Germany",
        "accessible": true,
        "code": "s2_49",
        "region": null,
        "namespaces": []
      },
      ...
    ]
  }
  ```
</ResponseExample>

Now you have the location code `s2_49` for Germany to include in your query.
