Instagram Location ID Finder

Instagram

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A location-resolution connector that finds numeric Instagram location identifiers for places by name, keyword, or GPS coordinates and returns structured location metadata. It resolves each place to an Instagram location ID and associated identifiers from place databases, plus textual place names and address components, latitude/longitude coordinates, and a direct link to the Instagram location page. Optional enrichment fetches business metadata such as category, phone number, website, current open status, and full weekly opening hours. Designed for bulk, deduplicated lookup of many places to produce one structured record per found location for geo-analysis, place-based monitoring, and contact-enrichment workflows.

Calling contract

Call it through Sourcelane's gateway or MCP server. We run the connector, apply your agent's spend guardrails, and bill only the results returned.

Request params

Field	Type	Required	Description
`queries`	array	optional	Place names or keywords to search for (e.g. "times square", "bondi beach", "coffee shop brooklyn"). Each query returns up to ~30 matching Instagram locations with their location IDs. Provide this, coordinates, or both.
`coordinates`	array	optional	GPS coordinate pairs as "latitude,longitude" strings (e.g. "40.7580,-73.9855"). Each pair returns nearby places. Note: coordinate results often lack a numeric Instagram location ID - keyword search is the reliable way to get one. Provide this, queries, or both.
