Hello, I am new to FME and would like to try and obtain geotagged Flickr / Instagram posts based on specific search criteria, e.g. keywords and coordinates. This is for a conservation project.

Using Yosemite National Park as an example, I would like to search for images within a 10 mile radius of Yosemite (37.8651N, 119.5383W) with the option of filtering out posts based on the keyword “black bear” and then place those queried results on a map.

I have had some success using the TweetSearcher Parameters transformer for aggregating Twitter posts, but am wondering how and if this could be applied to Flickr and Instagram to reveal posts and images.

From what I gather I should use the httpcaller to talk with the api, but any ideas on how to create a search query? Is such a thing possible?

Thanks so much for your help.

Charlie

I think it should be fairly easy to implement this using the HTTPCaller and the REST interfaces made available:

Hi @desert_canyon

for Instagram we have a Web Connection on the FME Hub:

Here is also a video with an example of how to use the Web Connection and how to build a query. There are some limitations regarding the Instagram API in sandbox mode. Please refer to their documentation.
