System and method for detecting GEO-locations in social media

Abstract

A method of determining locations for social media postings may include: retrieving, by communicating with at least one application programming interface (API) of a social media system over one or more first communication networks, at least one social media posting; determining at least one location mention in the at least one social media posting; determining at least one location based on the at least one location mention; determining a primary location from the at least one location; storing, in at least one database on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, at least one set of geo-coordinates for the primary location in at least one posting object for the at least one social media posting; and outputting, by communicating with a user system over one or more second communication networks, the at least one social media posting with the stored at least one set of geo-coordinates for display on the user system.
