I am trying to get the users info for the people who checked in for a venue
Is there any API endpoint to get the atleast the basic info of the users who checked in for a venue
Thank You
In a venue detail request, if your users have auth'd through Foursquare, you can see their friends that have been there. Your app can see users currently at a venue if 1) one of your auth'd users just checked in there, or 2) your users are a manager of that venue.
These should give you some "mini" or compact user responses and to get more data, you can make a user detail request

I need to display the followers list of instagram account in my website.
I have created app and generate access token successfully.
But if i run the instagram api to get the followers list, it shows me the empty result.
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/followed-by?access_token={access_token}
Can anyone help me to get the followers list.
In sandbox mode you will only see users approved to sandbox in API response.
Add one of your followers to sandbox users and let them accept it, then you will just see that user in the API response.
Once you get your app approved by Instagram and go live, you will see all (but I dont think Instagram is approving any app with permission other than basic anymore)
I'd like to query for my facebook friend's check-ins using Foursquare. Is this possible and how can I do this? thanks
You can't see check-ins of anybody unless you are friends with them on Foursquare first (regardless if you're friends with them on Facebook). But if they are your friends on Foursquare, you should be able to see users' check-ins via checkins/recent or users/checkins
Is there a way to become a manager of a venue just for development purposes, without having to complete all the steps of claiming a venue? Maybe by creating a false venues and be manager of it?
For the Venue Push API, you can create a "home" venue and will automatically be treated as the manager of that venue.
For specials/stats, create a test venue and either go through the claim flow for the venue, or e-mail api#foursquare.com and with the venue ID and your user ID, asking them to claim the venue for you.
We have integrated hereNow api in our appliction to show the checked in customers for the particular venue. Now because of the policy change in the hereNow api we are not getting any results. Is there any way to get the checkedin user details for the venue without being as a store manager?
Thanks,
Shiva
No. The identities of users currently checked in to a venue are only available to apps making requests on the behalf of friends, other people checked in to the venue, or to a manager of the venue.
I'm new to foursquare api development and was looking for high level
steps on how to get followers for a particular brand. I'm working for
a business that has its brand on Foursquare and would like to get
information about all the people that checkin to the brand or follow
them so they can send them thank you cards... etc... Is a brand a user infact and can I use the User endpoints to get the list of followers?
Any help would be appreciated...!
Brands have a userId just like normal users and you can access their friend/follower information the same way you'd access it for a regular user.
To encourage new followers, you should consider using a foursquare follow button on the brand's web pages: https://foursquare.com/business/brands/offerings/followbutton
