Places
Build & analyze on top of the world’s most accurate location data and technologies.
Places by Foursquare offers world-class location data, services, and solutions. Since launching its first consumer app 6 years ago, Foursquare has been building up its database of over 65 million places from all around the world, and we’re letting you tap into this dataset.
Places DatabaseRows and columns of Foursquare places, delivered directly to you
65 million global points of interest is just the start — Foursquare’s Places Database has enough detailed information about places that you can use us as your end-to-end location solution. Whether you’re looking to fill the map inside your app with pins or enhance your existing POIs with rich Foursquare metadata, license parts or all of our global Places Database instead of recreating the wheel.

Place InsightsWork with us 1-on-1 on a dataset to help you answer any questions about places or trends
Understand business and local trends like never before through Foursquare proprietary data and our larger panel of foot traffic signals. Place Insights provides a layer of time-sensitive signals above our raw POIs that enables any kind of analysis, from ranking sales leads in the markets you care about to uncovering the hot just-opened venue you might have missed around the corner.

Snap-to-Place TechnologiesTurn a digital signal like a lat-long into meaning in the real world
Lat-longs and other phone signals become much more powerful and valuable within your app when you can turn them into real-life places, meaning, and context. The APIs part of our Snap-to-Place Technologies enable you to accurately find POIs based on how Foursquare sees places — not as static points in space, but as actual shapes with geometry and relevancy that changes based on time of day, popularity, and other signals.
