foursquare2

This ruby wrapper for the foursquare v2 API, is a fork of Matt Mueller's version that is maintained and managed by Foursquare employee, Zack Gilbert. It is updated to more closely resemble the current state of the Foursquare API functionality available to the public.

Installation

gem 'foursquare2', :git => 'git://github.com/zackgilbert/foursquare2.git'

Usage

A Note on Authentication

Currently this gem does not handle the oauth2 authentication flow for you, use the oauth2 gem to retrieve and store oauth tokens for a user. Obtain your client key/secret for userless access at the foursquare developer site.

Instantiate a client (Userless Access)

client = Foursquare2::Client.new(:client_id => 'your_client_id', :client_secret => 'your_secret', :api_version => '20180525')

Instantiate a client (Authenticated User Access)

client = Foursquare2::Client.new(:oauth_token => 'user_oauth_token', :api_version => '20180525')

Examples

See the documentation for a list of all supported methods and available options.

Get information about a user (use 'self' for the authenticated user)

client.user(108914)

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
Fork the project
Start a feature/bugfix branch
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
