**To scrape Instagram location data, give apidojo’s [Instagram Location Scraper](https://apify.com/apidojo/instagram-location-scraper) on Apify one or more location page URLs, such as `https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/213131048/berlin-germany/`, or location IDs, and set `maxItems` above 10.** It returns the public posts tagged at each place, at $0.50 per 1,000 posts, without an Instagram login.

Location data shows what people post from a venue, neighbourhood or city: useful for local marketing, tourism, retail and events. This guide covers the actors, inputs, the location fields on each post, costs and limits. The full overview is in [how to scrape Instagram data in 2026](/blog/instagram-scraping/how-to-scrape-instagram/). Places pair with local tags, covered in [how to scrape Instagram posts by hashtag or keyword](/blog/instagram-scraping/scrape-hashtags/), and [how to scrape Instagram reels and audio](/blog/instagram-scraping/scrape-reels-audio/) covers the videos.

## Which apidojo Actor Should You Use for Locations?

**Several apidojo actors read Instagram locations, priced differently; these 3 cover most needs.** The table compares them, using each listing (Apify, [Apify](https://apify.com/apidojo/instagram-scraper), [Apify](https://apify.com/apidojo/instagram-scraper-api)).

| Actor | Input | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Instagram Location Scraper | startUrls (location URLs) or locationIds | $0.50 per 1,000 posts |
| Instagram Scraper | Location URLs in startUrls, alongside other URL types | $0.50 per 1,000 posts |
| Instagram Scraper API | Location URLs in startUrls | $0.025 per location with 50 posts included, then $0.0005 per post |

For many locations with up to about 50 recent posts each, the Scraper API’s included posts make it cheap; for deep pulls from a few places, per-post pricing wins.

## How Do You Scrape Posts From an Instagram Location?

**Find the place page, copy its URL or the number in it, and run the actor.** The location ID is the number after `/locations/`.

```
{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/213131048/berlin-germany/"],
  "locationIds": ["213385402"],
  "until": "2026-09-01",
  "maxItems": 1000
}
```

This follows the input example on the Location Scraper’s API page (Apify). Each location should have at least 10 posts, and `maxItems` should be above 10; low-activity places can trigger the rate limiter. Finding place pages is covered in [how to search by location on Instagram](/blog/instagram-search/search-by-location/). Location-tagged TikTok videos are covered in [how to scrape location-tagged TikTok videos](/blog/tiktok-scraping/scrape-locations/).

## What Location Fields Does Each Post Contain?

**Geo-tagged posts include a `location` object with the place’s ID, name, slug, address, city and coordinates.** The fields come from the Instagram Scraper’s output example (Apify).

| Field | Contains |
| --- | --- |
| location.id, location.name, location.slug | The place’s ID, name and URL slug |
| location.address, location.city | Address details, where Instagram has them |
| location.lat, location.lng | Coordinates |
| createdAt, likeCount, commentCount, owner | The post’s date, engagement and author |

## What Can You Do With Instagram Location Data?

**Location data answers local questions general searches miss.** Listed below are the 4 common uses.

-   **Venue research**: what visitors post and which posts get engagement.
-   **Local creator discovery**: accounts that post from an area repeatedly; see [how to find local influencers on Instagram](/blog/instagram-influencers/local-influencers/).
-   **Competitor venues**: how often a rival location is tagged.
-   **Event coverage**: posts tagged at a venue during an event, filtered with `until`.

## What Are the Limits of Instagram Location Data?

**Location data only covers posts whose authors added a place tag, and only public ones.** Many posts filmed at a place have no tag, and coordinates belong to the place, not the person. Treat location data as public posting activity, never as a way to track individuals.
