Enhancement: GPS locations

[nemec]

Hi, in your blog post you mention that Instagram removed GPS from photos. This is mostly true, but Instagram does list GPS coordinates for the Location that a user selected. It is not a precise location, but it should save time geocoding the data yourself. This may only work if you are logged in to Instagram (it does for me, but I have heard others can get data without logging in).

Example: https://www.instagram.com/p/CXeIWI0IpYh/ If I search for "lat" in the source code it will show the geocoded location (lat/lng) for Rouen.

Another alternative, in case the above does not work for you: add ?__a=1 to the post URL and you get JSON that shows the info:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CXeIWI0IpYh/?__a=1

This seems to no longer be a function.

Both the additional at the end of the URL and searching for "lat" in the source code yield no results. Would love to know if you have an updated solution.
