## README

### Instagram Location Posts API

List public Instagram posts tagged at a location, ranked or most recent, with cursor pagination.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/instagram/location-posts" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"sort": "recent", "locationId": "103912118089363"}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. A lookup that finds nothing still succeeds and returns `found: false`.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `locationId` | string | Yes | Instagram location id, as returned by instagram.search_locations. |
| `cursor` | string | No | Pagination cursor from a previous response's nextCursor. |
| `sort` | string | No | Order the posts by Instagram's top ranking or by newest first. Defaults to ranked. One of: `ranked`, `recent`. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.0012 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
