Ask HN: Public Social Media APIs with geolocation data
2 points by hellotoby 5227 days ago
I'm working on an MVP which displays geolocated data from social sites on a map. So far I'm importing json data from the following sites:

- Instagram - Twitter

I'm looking for more APIs that I can use to get data for my app. The data needs to be public. Does anyone know of any other popular sites with publicly available geolocated data?

Have you looked at Ban.jo? (http://www.ban.jo) <-- sounds pretty similar, you might get some interesting insights from checking out their app if you don't know about it already.
I hadn't heard of Ban.jo. Looks great. Thank you!
You might look at Flickr as well: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/

And I don't know whether the Google+ API supports geolocation yet, but I expect it will soon if it does not.

Great! Thank you.
