I am reviewing the new Instagram Graph API and looking for a location element for the media item endpoint.
What I'm looking to achieve is a way to search a location for images posted that have locations tagged in that area or a location.
I'm looking at the media item endpoint in their reference page at:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/media/
The Instagram API documentation doesn't seem to include this at present. Does anyone know if the media item will include a location element? e.g. by place name or lat/long.
Thanks
The Instagram Graph API which is from facebook api - is only for those instagram accounts which are converted to business account. In other words linked to fb business pages.
That API gives only owned data and the moderation for comments and deep insights on account posts.
The is Instagram api for your use case which is open for all accounts. You would want something like this: https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/locations/
This gives all the recent media in reverse chronological based on a location id.
But there is a caveat: It needs public_content oauth scope; which Instagram has stopped issuing for new auth apps. So, if you don't have that enabled already, probably you won't be able to get that access authorised. Plus, this api is scheduled to be deprecated in 2020.
