Instagram Location API
Scrape Instagram Location data with one API call. Returns the public profile of an Instagram location (a place posts can be tagged at): name, category, address, phone, price level, its Instagram page as `place.url`, and on `place.ext` the number of public posts tagged there (`posts_count`), the venue's own `website`, `city` and `postal_code`, the weekly opening `hours`, its `facebook_places_id` and the username of the Instagram business account linked to the place (`business_username`). Pass `location_id`, the `location.pk` returned by /v1/instagram/search/location. Coordinates are filled only when Instagram's place search lists this exact place, and are null otherwise. Fields a venue leaves blank are null. An unknown id returns 404 and is not charged. Use /v1/instagram/location/posts to read the posts tagged there.

Returns an Instagram location's public profile: name, category, address, phone, website, opening hours, the number of posts tagged there and coordinates when known.
Use it to enrich a location.pk from /v1/instagram/search/location. Use /v1/instagram/location/posts for the posts tagged there.
