如何使用 API 从 Instagram 帖子中获取位置地理标签

Question

I'm trying to get the location geotag from an already posted Instagram post using the Basic Display Instagram API?

I can't find any endpoints that let me get the location. Am I missing something or is that something we just cannot do?

Answer 1

It appears at this time you can only set the location-id when creating a piece of media via the API but it is not available when retrieving a piece of media.

POST call to API https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/ig-user/media#create-photo-container

Fields available when making a GET call https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/ig-media#fields

Answer 2

This can be done by opening the post, right-clicking on top of the post, tick mark Properties, and then Location. You will get a map with location coordinates in decimal degrees which you can use to pinpoint that spot on Google Maps or another mapping service. APIs calculate this too but APIs are for developers only so it is not accessible to an average Instagram user unless you're building an app related to it.

Answer 3

You can get it using the data365.co Instagram API with which I work.

If you have a post ID or shortcode, you can build a task to download it via a POST request: https://api.data365.co/v1.1/instagram/post/CYjV-nusXA8/update?access_token=TOKEN

This GET request returns you the information about the publication: https://api.data365.co/v1.1/instagram/post/CYjV-nusXA8?access_token=TOKEN

You receive such a list of fields, including the location_id:

{
    "data": {

    "attached_media_display_url": "https://instagram.fclj4-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/e35/s1080x1080/271671353_2486006594877541_7824177366520402526_n.jpg?_nc_ht=instagram.fclj4-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=101&_nc_ohc=6N-Dwpx8IvEAX9Zjcvp&edm=AABBvjUBAAAA&ccb=7-4&oh=00_AT88wqJiMtaSe4Ma8xtcixRCdaIozxnXKK_6k1W-84k3ZQ&oe=61E6FF84&_nc_sid=83d603",

If you need to get more location data, you can create a task to download location information.

An creating a task example, POST request:

https://api.data365.co/v1.1/instagram/location/447269731/update?access_token=TOKEN

Example of getting data, GET request:

https://api.data365.co/v1.1/instagram/location/447269731?access_token=TOKEN
