# Coverage and capacity

Creators are local. A store fills as fast as nearby creators can visit.

## What you can read today

-   **`network.accepting`** on `GET /locations`: whether the network takes bookings now.
-   **`state`** on each store. `full_this_month` means the month’s videos are paced and the store waits for next month. `needs_hours` means the store has no bookable hours yet.
-   **`month`** on `GET /locations/{id}`: `planned`, `allowance`, `booked`, `visited`, `posted`, and `full` with `full_until`.

## Monthly pacing

Each store gets its videos a month, spread over its own local month. When a month is full, the store shows `full_this_month` until the next month starts.

## Coverage check

`GET /v1/coverage?address=` will answer whether a metro is served, and a first-visit estimate, before you add a store. **(Not live yet)**

A store in a metro CreatoRain does not serve will be refused with `422 metro_not_served`. **(Not live yet)**
