Is it possible to get location? #7

Thanks for great tool! I am interested in the location info using API crawl. Are you aware of any tricks on the url to pull location info for each media as well?

lty1308 commented 7 years ago

Actually you can crawl the location info from individual post. All you need is the code for the post. 

/p/<code>/?taken-by=<user>&__a=1

I am actually curious what the purpose of __a is and it seems to be a loophole

Hello, I'm currently on vacation and I can't watch. As soon as I get back, I look at it. Thanks you for your feedback!

No worries. I have fingered out a way to extract the location. I posted my findings under my question. You can take a look when you get back. Have fun!

Hello, thank you for the info. You can also retrieve the location using the crawl with selenium.
