Get SoftLayer load balancer location

Question

I am using https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getAdcLoadBalancers.json to retrieve all the account Load Balancers.

I looked at the data types returned and it isn't obvious how to get the location of the load balancer. Can you help?

Thanks.

You could use an objectMask to retrieve additional relational data. For example, the next mask retrieves the load balancer hardware and the data center where it’s located.

objectMask=mask[loadBalancerHardware[datacenter]]

https://$username:$apiKey@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getAdcLoadBalancers.json?objectMask=mask[loadBalancerHardware[datacenter]]
