Search for a location by geographic coordinate in instagram api

Made instagram api request to search for locations by latitude and longitude:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/search?lat=48.858844&lng=2.294351&access_token=MyTokenHere

and it returns empty array:

 {"meta": {"code": 200}, "data": []}

My access token is set for public_content scope. Also, in the Instagram documentation it says that sandbox is a "fully functional environment" and I did not see anything about limiting the search by geocode.

In sandbox mode, you will only get posts from you and your sandbox users.

Search at a coordinate where you have posted a photo and then API response will have just that post. Once you go live, you will see all posts for all users.

Data is restricted to sandbox users and the 20 most recent media from each sandbox user
