Categorizing Instagram geo-tags

0
votes

I'm looking to add a feature on my application that lists bars and restaurants around a device and orders them by the amount of recent posts that have gone up under their geo-tag.

Think Instagram's "Trending Places" screen but only bars and restaurants.

Is there a way to categorize or limit Instagram's list of geo-tags to bars and restaurants?

I know that Instagram pulls their geo-tags from Facebook Places and that they are categorized within that. Is there a way to link these up?

I'm kind of new at this so any help is greatly appreciated.

The best way is to use the Facebook Place API to get the locations around your device.

After that, use the /locations/search from Instagram (which accepts the FACEBOOK_PLACES_ID) to get the Instagram location-id. And once you have the location-id, use the /locations/location-id/media/recent to get the recent media.
