Hey dfc,

We have a policy against aggregating herenow information across venues using our API, to use like this. You can see it clearly stated here in the description for the endpoint: https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/venues/herenow

We also prohibit using our API in any manner that is threatening, invasive of another's privacy, or otherwise inappropriate.

As mentioned in another reply, we do also reserve the right to revoke access to our API for any reason, at our sole discretion. That being said, we aim to be consistent and transparent in our policies and how we enforce them.

Cheers,

~ak, platform evangelist @ foursquare


Thanks for the clarification. I felt this app very threatening, btw, and the NYT article says you already revoked their API access.


Thanks for the response. I wish I could upvote you five times..
