How can I get checkins in a certain location on Foursquare?

Question

I guess the title is pretty self-explanatory. I want to get all the checkins in a certain area given the latitude and longitude.

All I've been able to find is https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/checkins/recent and https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/venues/venues, but neither of them are useful for me.

I'm pretty sure there has to be a way, but I can't find it.

Answer 1

Use this api and filter by "hereNow" count for each venue, this will give you count of people currently in that location

https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search
