Yes, since I see it is available via the API Browser from @TAustin. There is a link to the API documentation on the page as well.

SmartThings API Browser+ ... Now Available to All

NOTICE!!: SmartThings has now released its own equivalent of this app here, so you may prefer to use that instead. I have a browser-based web app that provides a point-and-click way to explore most of the SmartThings API. For the non-technical, this gives you access to an important SmartThings resource without having to learn tools like Postman, curl, or the CLI. You don’t even need a computer: a tablet or even smartphone can be used. For the more technically inclined, it provides much faster and more convenient access to those commonly-accessed CLI commands. Although I originally thought of it as a portal for the non-technical, I’ve actually found it quite useful to use during my own development activities. This is not intended as a replacement or ‘competitor’ to the CLI, mysmart…

Possible? Yes. In practice? I think you are probably looking for ‘no’ but it does depend on the context if your question.

You can get the longitude and latitude you configured for your Locations and possibly their linked places (I’ll check this) but that is all I can think of. Mobile Presence doesn’t include the geolocation and the SmartTags allow for it with a capability but don’t populate it.

However there is a capability there if anyone wants to use it and can find a use for it that doesn’t have privacy issues to address.
