Static location share

{ "location": { "latitude": 40.75017899435506, "longitude": -74.99449803034105 }, "message_id": "1f88fdc08bec11ea81b689d23fa72c7b", "msg_ts": "1588365684.000000", "msgtype": 8000, "receiver": "user001", "sender": "user002", "sender_type": "normal", "time": "5/1/20 1:41 PM", "time_iso": "2020-05-01 13:41:24.000", "vgroupid": "4ebf561eb2214c4e6f924d09e37bf80b6f9b85cb96b72badb03753d9ed26f7f4" }

Share location continuously

The following example is when a user shares their location for a period of time. The edit section shows the updated coordinates.

{ "edit": { "type": "location", "shareexpiriation": "1780509208", "latitude": 40.755629888216255, "longitude": -73.9861171188826 }, "message_id": "2a99fdc08bec11ea81b689d23fa72c7b", "msg_ts": "1588365700.000000", "msgtype": 9000, "receiver": "user001", "sender": "user002", "sender_type": "normal", "time": "5/1/20 1:41 PM", "time_iso": "2020-05-01 13:41:40.000", "vgroupid": "4ebf561eb2214c4e6f924d09e37bf80b6f9b85cb96b72badb03753d9ed26f7f4" }
Note

When shareexpiriation is set to "-1", the user has stopped sharing their location. The field name shareexpiriation is spelled as shown in the output.
