Overview
This node integrates with the YNAB (You Need A Budget) API to retrieve financial data related to payee locations. Specifically, the "Get Location by Payee" operation fetches all location details associated with a given payee ID within a specified budget. This is useful for scenarios where you want to track or analyze the physical locations tied to particular payees, such as stores or service providers, helping in detailed budgeting and expense tracking.
Practical examples include:
- Retrieving all store locations for a specific vendor to analyze spending patterns.
- Verifying the address or contact information of a payee's locations before processing transactions.
- Integrating location data into reports or dashboards for better financial insights.

Each location object may contain fields such as location ID, name, address, city, state, postal code, and other relevant details.
