Is it possible to add a location to searching for people?

[imrebuurman]

Right now i'm only getting the 422 error when trying to add a location to searching for people. This also happens whenever I try to add anything else.

params = { 'keyword': profession, 'search_type': 'people', }

this is what I am using when it works but the moment I add anything else:

params = { 'keyword': profession, 'search_type': 'people', 'location' : location }

When I use this I get this as an error

`---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception Traceback (most recent call last)

51 else:
---> 52 raise Exception(
53 f'Request failed with status code {res.status_code}')
54 except Exception as e:

Exception: Request failed with status code 422

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

54 except Exception as e:
---> 55 raise Exception(f'Request failed: {str(e)}')

Exception: Request failed: Request failed with status code 422`

Is there any other way to achieve this by using a location?
