Turn any Foursquare venue or place search into structured JSON: name, category taxonomy, coordinates, popularity, user tips, photos, and attributes.
Foursquare powers a rich places graph with a detailed category taxonomy, crowd-sourced tips, and venue attributes used across location apps. The Foursquare Scraper API resolves venue pages and place searches into validated JSON with precise coordinates, the category hierarchy, popularity signals, user tips, photos, and hours.
It's aimed at location-intelligence, mapping, and POI-enrichment teams that need consistent venue attributes rather than long-form reviews. Place searches return ranked nearby results with full pagination, and the category taxonomy lets venues be filtered and segmented precisely.

Yes. Each venue returns its full category hierarchy, precise coordinates, popularity signals, attributes, and the stream of user tips with author and date.
Structured JSON straight from the API, or pushed to your stack natively — S3, BigQuery, Snowflake, Postgres, Kafka, or any HTTPS webhook. Call it from Python, Node, Go, Rust, or any HTTP client. The data lands where your pipeline already lives.
No. You pay for valid, schema-passing rows only. Retries, blocks, CAPTCHAs, and 5xxs are on us. If a run doesn't return data that conforms to the schema, it isn't billed.
Every request routes through the same engine behind our Web Unblocker API: compliant residential IPs, real browser fingerprints, TLS-level evasion, behaviour modelling, and built-in CAPTCHA solving. Hard targets become routine.
Yes. We respect robots policies, rate budgets, and ToS-aware allow/deny lists. We deliver and move on — no row-level retention beyond your replay window. GDPR DPA, PII redaction, and custom data residency available on request.
