# The REST location resource requires `locations` scope

As of the **2024-10** release of the Admin REST API, the location resource will be gated by the `locations` scope.

Attempting to access the [location resource](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2024-10/resources/location#resource-object) without the `read_locations` scope will return a `403 Forbidden` [error](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest#status_and_error_codes). If your app gets the location resource, then you will need to request the correct `read_locations` scope before migrating to the 2024-10 API version.
