Get mayor and last comment from foursquare page

How can I get the last comment and who the mayor is from foursquare page ?

Let's say this is the url:

https://foursquare.com/v/anatomska-centrala/4dab1ba55da3ba8a479999b2.

And I need to fetch somehow this data:

For last comment:

Damir P. August 23, 2011 najjači fitness centar u gradu

For mayor:

Mayor: Mrgud N. 17 check-ins in last 60 days

I tried using foursquare's Venue Detail and combining it with the url's value (4dab1ba55da3ba8a479999b2) but unsuccessful.

I have non experience working with foursquare API so any help would be appreciate.

Thank you

  • You can indeed retrieve the mayor and all tips ("comments") from the venue detail endpoint. Try this: https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/explore#req=venues/4dab1ba55da3ba8a479999b2

    In the response, look for response.venue.mayor and response.venue.tips.
