Movement SDK Overview

The Movement SDK enables developers, marketers and brands to create real-time, contextual mobile experiences, and bridge the gap between online interests and real-world behaviors.

The Movement SDK leverages Foursquare underlying POI data (105M globally) and user signals from its consumer apps to translate location signals into actionable location intelligence, such as “at a restaurant”, “at a pet shop”, “at home”, “at work”.

Easily send those location signals to one of our marketing platform partners using Movement native integrations or send the data to your own backend to create stronger audience segments based on location patterns, to enrich user profiles by adding location history, and personalize customer experience.

As of January 31, 2023 Foursquare changed the name of our existing Pilgrim SDK product to Movement SDK. This change comes as Foursquare looks to align our product names closer to their functionality and bring the Pilgrim SDK closer to our other family of products.

If you are already using the Pilgrim SDK, you may continue to do so or elect to upgrade to the Movement SDK documented within this section.
