Real responses are complete. ## One schema on 2 platforms. The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/instagram/place/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/place/index.md). - ### Null means unknown A field Instagram doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero. - ### What it accepts An Instagram location link (instagram.com/explore/locations/212988663/new-york-new-york/, as a post's location tag opens it; any name or tab after the ID) or the location's numeric ID (the number in that link). - ### Write one parser Instagram and Facebook Marketplace answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all. - **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, instagram, …). - **`id`string**: Platform-native place ID (TikTok POI ID, Instagram location ID, Facebook Page ID). - **`name`string**: Place name as the platform shows it. - **`url`string**: Canonical place page URL. - **`type`string**: Coarse kind: venue for one spot (a business, landmark or address), area for a region (a neighborhood, city, state or country); unknown when the platform does not say. New values may be added; treat unknown values as unknown. - **`category`string**: The platform's category label (Cafe, City, Pizza Fast Food), as shown; not normalized across platforms. - **`description`string**: The place's description or about text; null when none is shown. - **`address`string**: Address as the platform shows it: a street line on some platforms, the whole postal address or only the enclosing region on others; not normalized.
