# Instagram Location Search

> Search Instagram locations by name or coordinates.

# Instagram Location Search

Search Instagram locations by a place name or by latitude and longitude, and get location IDs with names, addresses, cities and coordinates. Submit an asynchronous task, then read its standard results.

```json theme={null}
{
  "query": "Times Square"
}
```

Search by place name with query, or by a point on the map with latitude and longitude. Coordinate search returns the places around that point.

## Standard Result Fields

Task results use the stable SocQ fields below. Source-specific field names and formats are normalized without inferring or enriching values that the source did not provide. To request a smaller field set, use `fields` for MCP queries, `_result_fields` for typed tools, or `--result-fields` in the CLI. Declared fields remain present when their value is `null`.

| - | - | - | - |
| `id` | `string` | Yes | Unique identifier for this result item. |
| `platform` | `string` | No | Platform the result belongs to, such as `instagram` or `linkedin`. |
