Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. For my project I would like to scrape Instagram media from particular places. I already have found a way to retrieve the place id's.

Describe the solution you'd like Scrape this endpoint: https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/

Solid idea! I'll take a look into this later today and see what I can find 😎 From a quick glance at the JSON data served back at these location pages though, I have a good feeling we'll be able to accomplish something meaningful with a Location page scraper

Awesome. Looking forward to it!

Alright, just pushed this feature in the v1.4.0 update on GitHub and PyPI. Great idea, thanks for the contribution! I'll look into adding support for scraping the Location directory pages in the future but for now, check out the version release notes I linked above to see the sample usage.
