title: How can I get more data about an Instagram location-id?
body: <p>In my calls to the Instagram APIs, sometimes I'll get location data like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"id":641410285}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As I understand it, that's an Instagram location id; I don't know what that really means - who assigned the number? How is it managed, and all that sort of thing.  Is that documented anywhere?  But, setting that question aside...</p>
  
  <p>There is an API to get more detail about that id.  But when I call that API for this location, I get this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
    "meta": {
      "code": 200
    },
    "data": {
      "latitude": null,
      "id": "641410285",
      "longitude": null,
      "name": "Wendy's"
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So it's probably a Wendy's restaurant.  Or somebody's house whose name is Wendy. </p>
  
  <p>I have found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19283541/is-there-any-way-to-get-the-foursquare-venue-id-of-a-place-given-an-instagram-lo">this post</a> which seems related, if not exactly the same question, and I have found some instructions about how to start with Facebook or FourSquare locations/venues and discover the Instagram location-id, but does anyone have a way to discover more about an Instagram location-id?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any pointers!</p>
