I posted a similar question here about searching location specific public posts on facebook, but got no replies.
My question remains same for google plus too. Is there any way to fetch location/coordinate specific public activities using the google plus search api (https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities or any other api call)? I want this to be a general search query, without any user authorization.
If this is impossible, then are any free data sources/APIs that can help me with this?
Using the REST API for Activities, you can retrieve posts–some of which will include location data in the geocode field.

Also, if you retrieve an image from its url, you may be able to find location information from the exif metadata. There are a number of free exif parsers, and many cameras today populate exif data into the image.
