Private Beta Feature

This documentation covers a feature currently in Private Beta. Access is exclusive to approved participants. If you're interested in joining the Private Beta program, apply here.

Please note that while the docs are publicly viewable, functionality is limited to Private Beta participants until public launch.

You can specify the locale by setting the Accept-Language HTTP header in your request. Alternatively, you can add a locale=XXX parameter to your request but HTTP header specification is preferred. We currently support the following locales:

LanguageLocale Code
Englishen (default)
Spanishes
Frenchfr
Germande
Italianit
Japaneseja
Thaith
Turkishtr
Koreanko
Russianru
Portugesept
Indonesianid

Note: If nothing is specified, for geographical entities (e.g., city names), we'll fall back to using the language that's most popular in the country for that venue.

Foursquare also supports many country-specific subcategories in our venue categories. "Supported Countries" are listed in our Categories table and includes the ISO-2 code countries names where that category is supported.
