Any idea what can I do to get only the checkins from a specific venue?
If i use it like:
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/VENUE_ID?oauth_token=XXX
i get everything about the venue, and I only need the checkins.
Anyone has a solution? Thanks.
You can see who is currently checked in via the /venues/herenow endpoint. Historical check-in information for a venue is only available to the venue manager via the foursquare merchant platform

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
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
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.
Does foursquare provide any test accounts for developers?
For example: I want to test a special through api. I need a venue for creating a special. Does Foursquare provide us ?
Sadly no. Either find a venue manager who can authorize you application, or e-mail api#foursquare.com for help setting up a "fake" venue for you to claim.
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).
