**This is for developer-specific feature requests. For other requests please contact our customer support team.**

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**  
The API returns the city and country. I need additional information, particularly state or region, to differentiate among the many Springfields or places that are unfamiliar to me.

**Describe the solution you’d like**  
I would like to have `https://api.zoom.us/v2/metrics/meetings/'UUID'/participants?type=past'` return a location array with “city”, “region”, and “country”.

**Describe alternatives you’ve considered**  
Currently, I submit the participants’ IP addresses to an external IP location service,`https://freegeoip.app/json/` to obtain this information. This adds an extra processing step when I am reporting on several hundred participants.
