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?
See https://foursquare.com/business/merchants/claiming for information about claiming your venue and https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/merchants for the relevant API endpoints.

I want to bulk create thousands of web stories (of the AMP/Google variety) using a standardized AMP web stories template populated with text and images from my database.
Anyone have any ideas? I am not a coder, but may be able to follow if you assume I know nothing :) Thanks for your consideration and time.
I have looked in GitHub and at several online services that provide tools to make web stories, but none offer it. VisualStories claims to offer an API that does this, but when I asked for paid access said they were not sharing this with customers anymore because they found that creating stories individually produced better results.
Thanks!

I am in the middle of the review process for Instagrams new API permissions. We have followed all of their guidelines and fall into one of their valid use cases. Unfortunately we have been denied now 3 times with the only explanation that we don't fall under a valid use case. I would be ok with this response if our software wasn't exactly what they say is a valid use case. So far I am unable to find anyway to contact them or talk about this issue. It would be a lot more helpful if we didn't get a blanket response when getting denied. Anyone else having these issues or have been able to contact their review team?
Perhaps this helps. I have tried two times but our app was declined. I will write the submission text one more time. I also want to go more into detail as the new FAQ says that Instagram expects a very detailed submision.
Cheers,
Christian
FAQ
My submission was rejected but it was a valid use case. What should I do?
A common reason for rejecting a submission is that we do not have enough information to make an assessment of your app. This can happen if your submission was too short, if it missed important information, if you did not provide a good screencast, your website is not working, etc. Before you submit for review again, make sure to provide a long and clear explanation of what your app does and how you use every permission. Make sure also to provide a video screencast and to follow all our Platform Policies.
What should I write in the submission?
The submission should be long enough for us to understand exactly what your app does and why you need the permissions you are asking for. If your submission is too short or does not explain all parts of your integration, then we may not be able to understand and approve your app. For example, your submission should explain what does your app or company do, which of the approved use cases your integration falls into, who will be using your app, how do your user authenticate with your app, how you use the API to power your integration, how does your product use the data acquired from Instagram, etc.
What should I show in the video screencast?
The video screencast is a very important part of a submission and cannot be omitted. Please make sure that the video clearly shows how your application works, including any Instagram login experience and the usage of every permission you are requesting. Since your app may still be in sandbox mode, you can use data from sandbox users to showcase the integration.
My company is working with multiple clients, should I submit one app per project?
No, we do not approve apps that are created for one-off projects (e.g. a hashtag campaign, an event, a website). You should use a single client_id across all your integrations.
Can I revoke a submission if I made a mistake?
You can't cancel a submission that is in progress. You will need to wait until the submission has been reviewed before you can start a new one.
I also have just been denied in the same way. I gave them 20minutes of video and demonstrated everything my app does. I wrote about each action possible in the context of use case 2 and I clearly stated which calls I was making. Short of supplying the source I am not sure what else to tell them.
Is it possible to get the play count of a song (for the current user)? I only found Toplist and the Track class, but neither tells me how often a user listened to a song.
As far as I know there is no way to retrieve that data at the moment.
This is not possible through the Spotify API right now.
The Last.fm API does offer information similar to this, as a potential work-around.
Marked as not right now on the Spotify support site.

However, this article from 538 a journalist got a look at Nestify where that information is available.
I would assume that the information would eventually be made available via the API.
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.
I'm making a spotify app that I want to show the number of subscribers from a given playlist URL submitted by a user.
I have looked around their documentation but can't seem to find much useful information.
Thanks!
EDIT: I would like to use the web API as I don't really know C. Hopefully it's still possible.
The Web API doesn't support any playlist lookup at all, so unfortunately this isn't possible.
libSpotify supports this (see sp_playlist_num_subscribers), but be aware you need to have the user log into their Spotify account before this can be done, which may not be what you're wanting to do.
