How to get coordinates from a Yandex.Map attached to a message on Vkontakte?

Question

Python

I am writing a bot in Python, and the following task arose: by the user’s geolocation, tell him the nearest object. But geolocation can only be obtained using Yandex.Map. And how can I get the coordinates from the map attached to the message?

Using the messages.getHistory method, you get a message. In this case, specify extended = 1.
There is a column "geo" in the response from the server. The necessary data is there.
