Search Instagram Locations by Name
View all Instagram Data API endpoints →Resolve a place name to candidate Instagram location records. Pass keyword, e.g. paris. The live-verified response returns data.count and data.items[] with id, name, short_name, address, city, latitude, longitude and facebook_places_id where available. A search for paris returned 30 locations including the Louvre Museum, the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame with plausible coordinates. Disambiguate same-name venues with the returned city, address and coordinates instead of picking the first result blindly.
