The sp:UpdateLocationRequest API method can be used to create, update and delete postcodes/locations.

Description

Postcodes (or locations, depending on the use case) may be added into the system and mapped onto the regions structure. Locations created through this interface are referred to elsewhere as ‘named places’.

Additionally, existing postcode/locations may be updated with new latitude/longitude information (the old entry is removed and the new entry replaces it). Entries may also be deleted via this interface.
