Foursquare Java API v2 - Checkin Example


I'm trying to create a Foursquare application using its Java API v2 but I couldn't find any sample source code for the checkin process. I don't need to full source code (authentication, venue search, etc), I just need to checkin part.

Can somebody help me?


Solution

  • import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
    
    class HelloCheckin {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    try {
        // Construct data
        String data = URLEncoder.encode("ll", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("53.576317,0.113386", "UTF-8");
        data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("venueId", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("4e144a2cc65bedaeefbb824a", "UTF-8");
        data += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("oauth_token", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("YOUR_OAUTHTOKEN", "UTF-8");
    
        // Send data
        URL url = new URL("https://api.foursquare.com/v2/checkins/add");
        URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
        wr.write(data);
        wr.flush();
    
        // Get the response
        BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
    
        String line;
        while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
            // Process line...
        }
        wr.close();
        rd.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
    
    } }
