# Instagram Location API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/instagram/location)

> Returns the public profile of an Instagram location (a place posts can be tagged at): name, category, address, phone, price level, its Instagram page as `place.url`, and on `place.ext` the number of public posts tagged there (`posts_count`), the venue's own `website`, `city` and `postal_code`, the weekly opening `hours`, its `facebook_places_id` and the username of the Instagram business account linked to the place (`business_username`). Pass `location_id`, the `location.pk` returned by /v1/instagram/search/location. Coordinates are filled only when Instagram's place search lists this exact place, and are null otherwise. Fields a venue leaves blank are null. An unknown id returns 404 and is not charged. Use /v1/instagram/location/posts to read the posts tagged there.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/instagram/location` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `location_id` | no | Instagram location id: the numeric `location.pk` from /v1/instagram/search/location, or the number in an instagram.com/explore/locations/{location_id}/ URL. |
