Is the location field missing on Google+ Search API results?

We have a test public post, with public location sharing on. It is here:

https://plus.google.com/117438835632597579589/posts/CrqqvQf4kLx

This has a location tagged in the message, which is shown in the browser.

When we call the API there is no location field shown as the docs suggest there will be (https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/activities). This is the JSON that is returned:

{u'access': {u'kind': u'plus#acl'},

 u'verb': u'post'}

Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Thanks

Unfortunately the location information in the Google+ API has been broken for quite a while already... Here's an issue you can star: https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/detail?id=393
