Step 1: Resolve Location ID

步骤1：解析地点ID

Instagram uses numeric location IDs. To find the ID:

Search for the location on Instagram (mobile or desktop)

Open the location page — URL format:

instagram.com/explore/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/[name]/

Extract the numeric ID

If the user only provides a name, run a Google search:

site:instagram.com/explore/locations "[LOCATION_NAME]"

Instagram使用数字地点ID。查找ID的方法：

在Instagram（移动端或桌面端）搜索该地点

打开地点页面——URL格式：

instagram.com/explore/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/[name]/

提取数字ID

如果用户仅提供地点名称，可运行Google搜索：

site:instagram.com/explore/locations "[LOCATION_NAME]"

Step 2: Run the Actor

步骤2：运行Actor

Recommended — run_actor.js (handles waiting, output, and file saving automatically):

bash

undefined

推荐方式——run_actor.js（自动处理等待、输出和文件保存）：

bash

node scripts/run_actor.js

保存为CSV格式

node scripts/run_actor.js
--actor "apidojo~instagram-location-scraper"
--input '{"param": "value"}'
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.csv --format csv

Save as JSON

保存为JSON格式

node scripts/run_actor.js
--actor "apidojo~instagram-location-scraper"
--input '{"param": "value"}'
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json

> `APIFY_TOKEN` must be set in environment or `.env` file.

**If Apify MCP is available:**

Tool: apify:run-actor Actor: "apidojo~instagram-location-scraper" Input: { "locationIds": ["[LOCATION_ID]"], "maxItems": 100 }


**REST API fallback:**
```bash
curl -X POST   "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~instagram-location-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"locationIds": ["[LOCATION_ID]"], "maxItems": 100}'

node scripts/run_actor.js
--actor "apidojo~instagram-location-scraper"
--input '{"param": "value"}'
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json

> 需在环境变量或`.env`文件中设置`APIFY_TOKEN`。

**如果Apify MCP可用：**

工具: apify:run-actor Actor: "apidojo~instagram-location-scraper" 输入: { "locationIds": ["[LOCATION_ID]"], "maxItems": 100 }


**REST API备选方案：**
```bash
curl -X POST   "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~instagram-location-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"locationIds": ["[LOCATION_ID]"], "maxItems": 100}'

Step 3: Score Creator Quality

步骤3：评估创作者质量

From location posts, group by

ownerUsername

. For each creator:

local_score = min(post_count_at_location / 5, 1) * 0.30  # repeat presence
            + (avg_likes / 100) * 0.25  # engagement quality
            + (avg_comments / 10) * 0.20  # comment depth
            + (has_website ? 1 : 0) * 0.15  # professional creator signal
            + (follower_count > 1000 ? 1 : 0) * 0.10

Clamp to [0, 1]. Tier: A ≥ 0.70 | B 0.40–0.69 | C < 0.40

从地点帖文中，按

ownerUsername

分组。针对每位创作者：

local_score = min(post_count_at_location / 5, 1) * 0.30  # 重复发布频次
            + (avg_likes / 100) * 0.25  # 互动质量
            + (avg_comments / 10) * 0.20  # 评论深度
            + (has_website ? 1 : 0) * 0.15  # 专业创作者标识
            + (follower_count > 1000 ? 1 : 0) * 0.10

分数范围限制在[0, 1]。等级划分：A ≥ 0.70 | B 0.40–0.69 | C < 0.40

Step 4: Edge Cases

步骤4：边缘情况处理

Location ID not found for small venue: Try the city or neighborhood instead; scrape and filter by caption mentioning venue name
Tourist accounts dominate results (one-time visitors): Filter by
```
post_count_at_location = 1
```
being lower priority than repeat posters
Business accounts posting from location: If
```
is_business_account = true
```
, flag separately — these are brand accounts, not creator UGC
< 30 posts at location: Small or new venue — lower
```
min_followers
```
threshold to 500; include more results

小型场馆无法找到地点ID：尝试使用城市或社区ID，爬取后通过提及场馆名称的帖文标题进行筛选
结果中游客账号占比过高（仅到访一次）：将
```
post_count_at_location = 1
```
的账号优先级降低，重点关注重复发布的创作者
商家账号发布该地点内容：如果
```
is_business_account = true
```
，单独标记——这些是品牌账号，而非创作者用户生成内容（UGC）
该地点帖文不足30条：场馆规模小或较新——将最低粉丝数阈值降至500，纳入更多结果

Troubleshooting

故障排除

Very few results for city: City-level location IDs return general "in [city]" tags. Look for neighborhood or landmark IDs for denser results. Results are mostly tourist accounts: Focus on the

post_count_at_location >= 3

tier — locals post from the same location repeatedly. Wrong city matches location name: Some city names are duplicated globally. Verify the location page on Instagram before running.

城市相关结果极少：城市级地点ID返回的是通用的“在[城市]”标签。尝试使用社区或地标ID以获取更精准的结果。 结果多为游客账号：重点关注

post_count_at_location >= 3

的层级——本地用户会重复发布同一地点的内容。 地点名称匹配到错误城市：部分城市名称在全球范围内重复。运行爬虫前，请在Instagram上确认地点页面的正确性。
