I may be misunderstanding what you are after here, but won’t all
requests from the API come from the same server or block of servers? Is
that what you mean by location, as in request.referer ?

There is a bundle of data about the user that is sent to you. If you
look at the Omniauth docs, they do a great job of leveling out the
differences between the various services in this regard. But if the
user’s location is not part of that bundle of data, then knowing the
service that they used isn’t going to get you any closer to it, unless
all you are after is whether they used Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or
whatever to authenticate.
