Foursquare API Integrations

Build and run workflows using the Foursquare API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.

Overview#

The Foursquare API empowers developers to tap into rich data about venues, user check-ins, and location-based experiences. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate tasks such as fetching venue recommendations based on user preferences, keeping a log of customer visits to your business, or integrating location insights into your CRM. Combining Foursquare data with other services on Pipedream allows you to create powerful, location-aware business solutions without the heavy lifting of manual data handling.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    foursquare: {
      type: "app",
      app: "foursquare",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.foursquare.com/v2/users/self`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.foursquare.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
      params: {
        oauth_token: `${this.foursquare.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
        "v": `20191001`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Local Event Recommendations: Automatically send personalized local event recommendations to app users. When a user's location is detected within a new city, trigger a workflow that uses the Foursquare API to find trending venues or events nearby, then send these suggestions via Twilio SMS or email through SendGrid.
Venue Visit Analytics: Keep a pulse on business traffic by tracking check-ins at your venue. Set up a workflow that triggers every time someone checks into your venue on Foursquare, adding the check-in data to a Google Sheets spreadsheet for real-time analytics, or pushing the data into a data visualization tool like Tableau for deeper insights.
Customer Engagement Booster: Increase customer loyalty by offering discounts or rewards when they visit partner venues. Create a workflow that listens for check-ins at specific locations, then triggers a discount code generation via your e-commerce platform's API, and emails the offer to the customer using Mailchimp, thus encouraging repeat visits and cross-promotions.

Authentication#

Foursquare uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Foursquare account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Foursquare and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Foursquare API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

OAuth Request Configurations:
