Places Categories
Foursquare attempts to apply accurate and granular categorization to each of our POI records. In order to accomplish this, we leverage our own proprietary taxonomy of 1K+ categories.
Places Chains
Foursquare has created explicit associations between national and local brands and their brick-and-mortar locations. Users can query the Places dataset explicitly by chain name or chain ID to obtain a list of stores representing that chain.
Delivery Options
Determine which type of access - Flat File or API - is best suited for your business needs. While you can access Places data via API or flat file, our API was designed for specific use cases common to web and app developers vs data delivered weekly or monthly, available via flat file.
