Using [https://api.zoom.us/v2/phone/locations/](https://api.zoom.us/v2/phone/locations/)\<location\_id\>, I’m getting “BSSID format error” when trying to update a location and using BSSIDs with wildcards.

Update I’m PATCHing:  
{  
“bssid”: “b5:a8:67:d1:b8:d\*”  
}

Using the above gets me a “400 Bad Request” with the message “BSSID format error.”

I can update the same location using BSSIDs that don’t have a wildcard.  
{  
“bssid”: “b5:a8:67:d1:b8:d0”  
}

I suspect this is a data validation bug in the API. Anybody else run into this?

Hi @sosherof  
Hope you are doing fine!  
I am not able to replicate this issue on my end. Are you still getting this 400 Bad request? If so, please let me know so I can take a closer look into this

I’m still getting the error. I’m testing with postman using this URL:  
PATCH [https://api.zoom.us/v2/phone/locations/](https://api.zoom.us/v2/phone/locations/)\<location\_id\>  
and sending the JSON data:  
{  
“bssid”: “b0:ba:67:d1:b8:d\*”  
}  
This gets me back this reply:  
{  
“code”: 400,  
“message”: “BSSID format error.”  
}

The above BSSID works in the web UI. Additionally, there’s an error in the documentation for this PATCH method. The example data uses a BSSID that is definitely the wrong format.

I’d be happy to screen share with you but not sure how to get you my contact details.
