Instagram Location Search

Prerequisites

This Python application requires requests and numpy to be properly installed.

Example usage

The following command will search for Instagram locations nearby the coordinates 32.22 N, 110.97 W (downtown Tucson, Arizona.) The list of locations is saved as a JSON file at "locs.json".

python3 instagram-locations.py --session "<session-id-token>" --lat 32.22 --lng -110.97 --json locs.json

Note that this requires an Instagram session ID in order to work! See below for how to obtain one from your account.

Other output formats

Using the --geojson <output-location> command line argument, the list can be saved as a GeoJSON file for other geospatial applications.

Using the --map <output-location> command line argument, a simple Leaflet map is made to visualize the locations of the returned points.

Multiple types of output can be generated. For example, the following command will search for Instagram locations, save the JSON list, a GeoJSON file, and a map for viewing the locations visually.

python3 instagram-locations.py --session "3888090946%3AhdKd2fA8d72dqD%3A16" --lat 32.22 --lng -110.97 --json locs.json --geojson locs.geojson --map map.html
