How to get canonicalUrl in foursquare api?

Question

I'm getting CompactVenue result in api:

Result<VenuesSearchResult> result = foursquareApi.venuesSearch("" + lat + "," + lon, null, null, null, name, null, null, null, null, null, null);

Then I get ComapctVenue that I need and put it's ID to api to get CompleteVenue:

Result<CompleteVenue> completeVenueResult = foursquareApi.venue(ven.getId())

But my result doesn't contain canonical URL. Only short URL, name and ID.

How can I get canonical URL this way?

Answer 1

You can make an api call to the /venues/detail API endpoint with the same venue ID. It has an attribute "canonicalUrl" which is the attribute you want.

Answer 2

Looks like Foursquare no longer suplies canonicalUrl element in its venue object.

Although you can still get from menu.url element.
