Is this the correct format for a HubDB API request to add a table row, particularly a location field?

I’m getting an error: “message”: “Invalid input JSON on line -1, column -1: Cannot construct instance of `com.hubspot.hubdb.model.types.Location`, problem: lon is required\n at [Source: UNKNOWN; byte offset: #UNKNOWN]”,  
Neither LNG nor LON seems to work, and there isn’t a lot of documentation on this sort of request.

geo": {“type”: “location”, “lat”: 41.8372259, “lng”: -85.6551229}

Hey @cives,

Looks like you are close - just need to update the “lng” to “long”:

{“type”: “location”, “lat”: 41.8372259, “long”: -85.6551229}
