When I manage my venues via web interface, I see a Store ID field.
The field is visible in CSV export as "Manager Note".
But when I fetch venue details via v2 API, the field is not peresent in JSON response.
I tried three endpints: Venue Detail, Managed Venues and Venue Stats - they do not return my Store ID field.
I want to use JSON API, not CSV export.
Is it a bug in v2 API? Or is it by design?
It's an oversight. We'll be adding it to managed venues & venue stats shortly. thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Does the Foursquare API allow us to pull reviews and then allowing the verified location to respond to it?
I am just wondering if the API allows access to reviews and pulling those sets of data.
Thanks
Foursquare doesn't have reviews per se. They call them tips, and you can get them via the API for a specific venue or user -> https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/venues/tips
With the merchant api, can I create specials, campaigns, tips, venue information or only is for get information? I only view the get functions...
You can see the list of endpoints # https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/index, which includes endpoints like /specials/add for creating new specials.
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.
Is it possible to create and claim test venues to use with the API? I've created two venues (which are not real businesses), and I'd like to claim them as the venue manager so I can test as I build with the API.
There's no way to claim a venue via the API. You can e-mail api#foursquare.com with the fake venue ID & requested manager ID and we can set it up for you.
While reviewing the foursquare API documentation, I noticed that we can get stats on the number of checkins that were shared on Twitter and Facebook during a certain time period, thanks to the Venue Stats for our venue.
We'd like to get that information for each checkin, however. Is this currently possible with the API? The checkin object doesn't seem to include that information, but I might be looking at the wrong place.
Thanks!
Foursquare doesn't support retrieving that information at the single check-in level (neither in the merchant console, nor the API).
