## README

### Instagram Location Search API

Search Instagram locations by keyword and return each place's id, name, address and coordinates.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/instagram/search-locations" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "Eiffel Tower"}'
```

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

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | Yes | Place name, address or city to search for. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.0011 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.
