Upcoming Places API Release
We’re excited to announce the upcoming release of newly improved Places API endpoints that now leverage the latest and most accurate data Foursquare has to offer.
Starting June 17th, Places API users will gain access to enhanced Place Search & Data, Placemaker, and Geotagging endpoints and must begin the migration process.
Our new endpoints, powered by FSQ OS Places, will provide more accurate and up-to-date POI data for your projects and location-based features. Also, new endpoints will allow you and your users to directly contribute place edits through our APIs, offering greater control over the data that matters most to you.
