I found a strange behaviour in the 4SQ API: Invalid geo coordinates when searching for venues
Where can I post this bug to let the 4SQ team know about it?
Stack overflow is the best place to report issues. Foursquare considers it our "Developer Forum."

I asked similar question, but docusign support said post our question to stackoverflow again.
My prevuis question is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28152052/docusign-how-to-get-power-forms-from-api
There is not currently a way for REST to return this information, I believe it is in the plans to be released, I'm just not sure when.
SOAP does not have this functionality, and I don't think it's planned to add as a feature either.
When it is supported in REST the path should be:
GET https://{server}/restapi/v2/accounts/{accountId}/powerforms
I am new to the Foursquare API and I am trying to get a list of all places (venues) from the API for a country, I believe I read this is only for superuser 2? I am unable to find this in the developer documentation on Foursquare, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
There are a lot of venues in an entire country. You can't use the Foursquare API to search a region this wide. As per our documentation, the largest radius we support searching in is 100,000 meters.
My primary question is: Can connected apps add relevant information to venue pages?
I am a coder and avid Foursquare user. The basic information about venues is cool (location, photos, tips, etc.), but while I have my meal (in the case of a restaurant) I'd like to have more to read about the venue, such as the back-story, i.e., what's the history of the place, when was it founded, by who, and other interesting facts about the venue.
I thought connected apps would be the answer and that perhaps I could write a simple wiki to integrate with the venue page for users to provide their knowledge about the venue. But it seems from what I've read that's not the the intent of a connected app or the API. Am I correct is this assumption? And if so, can this idea be dropped into the Foursquare suggestion box? I think it would make a great value added feature - especially for us nerds who like to read.
This is a great use case for connected apps. Connected apps can reply to check-ins with up to 200 characters of text, and a link to more content. This can be used to provide additional information about the venue. Take a look at https://foursquare.com/apps/ to see examples of connected apps, and the kinds of responses they give to check-ins.
Is anyone aware of a way to get historical location info from Foursquare Venues. The problem is that if i look at a users checkin history and one of the venues has changed addresses, there is no way to get the old address / location via the api. For apps built on that data it means when a venue moves all the checkins prior to the move will have the wrong venue info.
Has anyone figured out a way to get that info (obviously this isnt a problem if the user has authed into our service before the change because we have it stored, but after we have no way to access it)?
There's no way to access the old location information, but information should only get strictly better with time. If you have a situation where location information for a venue has become less accurate, you should flag the venue and the super user community will try to fix it.
I'm looking to pull some information off of the people that check into my location to learn a bit about them. The plan is to offer them a special through foursquare once they've completed the form. Has anyone done this? Is it even possible?
