Welcome to Foursquare Developer 👋
Access our developer documentation and sample code to quickly get going. Learn how to build scalable mobile or web experiences for your users with Foursquare's global location data.
APIs
Leverage Foursquare's APIs to deliver millions of continually updated and verified points of interest within your app or website and create engaging location and search experiences with access to the latest user-generated tips, tastes, photos & more.
Places API
The Places API lets you bring location context into your applications with the speed and reliability you need. Power location searches with rich details to help users find the best places near them through access to photos, reviews, tips, and more.
Search & Data
Returns places based on user-submitted keywords. Matches against names, categories, tips & tastes.
Geotagging & Check-in
Detect where your user's device is and what is around them to provide POI tagging that supports a check-in use case.
Autocomplete
Returns a list of top addresses, places, geos, and/or searches partially matching the provided keyword and location inputs.
Address Data
Retrieve details for any address including non-Places. Works only in conjunction with the Autocomplete endpoint.
Studio Data API
Provides API access to the Unfolded platform, allowing your applications to authenticate with the Unfolded platform, access your geospatial assets (such as maps and datasets), access the Unfolded Data Catalog, invoke Unfolded analytics services such as enrichment from your own applications, and start pipeline tasks for bulk processing of geospatial data.
Data API
Allow your applications to access your geospatial assets and invoke Unfolded analytics services.
Pilgrim Geofence API
Enable Pilgrim SDK user-configured geofences for specific venues, categories, chains, polygons, and arbitrary lat/lng points.
