I use the following code to get details of a venue (with venue ID: 412d2800f964a520df0c1fe3) in my local PyCharm Edu:
import json, requests
url = 'https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/'
CLIENT_ID = 'XYZ' # I replace "XYZ" using my real CLIENT ID
CLIENT_SECRET = 'XYZ' # I replace "XYZ" using my real CLIENT SECRET
id='412d2800f964a520df0c1fe3'
params = dict(
client_id=CLIENT_ID,
client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET,
v='20180323'
)
resp = requests.get(url=url+id, params=params)
data = json.loads(resp.text)
with open('resp_detail.json', 'a') as the_file:
dumped=json.dumps(data)
the_file.write("%s\n" % dumped)
The returned checkin statistics are:
"stats": {
"tipCount": 1672,
"usersCount": 0,
"checkinsCount": 0,
"visitsCount": 0}.
However, when I use the online trial interface (https://foursquare.com/developers/explore#req=venues%2F49eeaf08f964a52078681fe3%3F) to get details of a venue for the same venue ID, the return results are:
"stats": {
"tipCount": 389
"usersCount": 16762
"checkinsCount": 25938
"visitsCount": 32866
}
The online results should be correct since this venue is Central Park, New York and it should get lots of checkins. I don't know what is wrong with my code.
Foursquare even didn't post a sample code for "get details of a venue".
Could anyone help to correct my code? Thank you so much!!
Beginning on May 31st, foursquare made five changes in order to simplify their API and maintain the quality of their service as their developer community grows.
https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/announcements#start-up-tier-launch
Access to check-in counts, visit counts, chain details, and key tastes will be removed
So you can not get checkinsCount. I think the online trial interface is exception.
