Dynamic e911- Telnyx Attribute Name for PIDF-LO LOC Field

Hello,

Documentation states that the E911 Dynamic Locations API uses PIDF-LO based on RFC 4119 and extended with RFC 5491. What I'm having a hard time finding in dev documentation is which fields are supported and what they're called in the API. Maybe this is something you just find the first few times you call then endpoints, but I was looking for clarification on the Address Line 2 field or LOC. Is this the extended_location attribute? In one of the examples, it was just filled out with the house number, street, suffix combined which confused me.

Can I use extended_address to put in "BLDG 5 FLR 1 RM 20" for example and have it get to the PSAP correctly when I reference the object in the SIP header outbound in addition to the other default attributes like house_number an so on?

Is there a place where these PIDF-LO attribute translations are documented for the dynamic emergency endpoint? Maybe the table already included would be a good spot if this is missing.

Thank you for your time,

Nick

Hi,

For the address format, have a look at the cURL request and JSON response in this support article -

I saw that article, but my original question references the conflict in documentation. extended_address is this the field that is mapped to the PIDF-LO LOC field? They aren't using it that way in the curl response. It's stating the street address not room or building info
