We collected 1,562,452 check-ins from 5112 Swarm users with their consent, and randomly selected 3000 of them with 926524 check-ins at total for publicity.
The selected check-ins were generated in 3 cities, i.e., Hong Kong(HK), New York City(NYC), San Francisco(SFO).
Respecting for users' privacy, we obscured the user_id
field in the data.

: The check-ins generated in San Francisco.
Each line in .txt
files is a JSON object, representing for data of an user as follow:
