Facebook search form a term with geolocation

Facebook has the Keyword Insights API that solves this question, but it's not available for all developers - except for some partners and we have this example:

SELECT location_results FROM keyword_insights WHERE term='Obama' AND country='US'

From https://developers.facebook.com/docs/keyword_insights/#examples

But without have access to Keyword Insights API is it possible search for user posts that have the term "Obama" in coordinates 39.781762,-89.649854 with a radius of 50 miles?

Thanks in advance.

No. It's not possible to get insights from the user posts without an access to the Keyword API.

An alternate can be to use the Facebook Graph API Search. It allows you to narrow your search to a specific location and distance. For example, you can specify the latitude and longitude using the center parameter in the query:

https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=obama&type=posts&center=37.76,-122.427
&distance=1000&access_token=<token>

You can parse the result obtained from it and generate insights on your own.
