I am trying to get the hereNow parameter from FourSquare using a checkins query on a specific user, unfrotunately I can't seem to get that parameter using checkins, I am seeing all other data regarding a venue except for the hereNow parameter.
Does anyone know how I can get that parameter using checkins? Otherwise, how can I incorporate venue objects and tie into my current code?
Here is my JavaScript to set hereNow as a variable:
var count;
getVenueStatus = function() {
var hereNowUrl = 'https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/VENUE_ID?&oauth_token=OAUTH_TOKEN&v=20140303';
$.getJSON(hereNowUrl, {format: "json"}, function(data) {
$(data.response.venue).each(function(index) {
$(this).each(function(index) {
var venue = this;
var hereNowCount = venue.hereNow.count;
count = hereNowCount;
console.log(count);
});
});
});
}
Here is my JavaScript to display the results on a map:
findFoodTrucks = function (param) {
getVenueStatus();
$.mobile.pageLoading();
var url = 'https://api.foursquare.com/v2/users/80507329/checkins?oauth_token=OAUTH_TOKEN&v=20140303';
var mapBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
if (param.userloc) mapBounds.extend(param.userloc);
$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
$(data.response.checkins).each(function(index) { // groups: nearby, trending
$(this.items).each(function(index) {
var foodtruck = this;
var foodtruckPosition = new google.maps.LatLng(foodtruck.venue.location.lat, foodtruck.venue.location.lng);
var foodtruckIcon = (count > 0) ? 'foodtruck_active.png' : 'foodtruck_inactive.png';
var foodtruckStreet = (foodtruck.venue.location.address) ? '<br>' + foodtruck.venue.location.address : '';
var foodtruckContent = '<a href="https://foursquare.com/venue/' + foodtruck.venue.id + '"><strong>' + foodtruck.venue.name + '</strong></a>' + foodtruckStreet + '<br>';
mapBounds.extend(foodtruckPosition);
addFoodTruckMarker(foodtruckPosition, foodtruckIcon, foodtruckContent);
console.log(foodtruck);
});
if (param.zoomtotrucks) $('#map_canvas').gmap('getMap').fitBounds(mapBounds);
});
})
.error( function() {
loadFoodTrucks(param); //try again
})
.complete( function() {
$.mobile.pageLoading( true );
});
}
Thanks in advance!
