Missing Foursquare Category Icons

I would like to get the Foursqaure category icons without the gray background.

However, it seems like many icons are missing. They are available if you want to construct the icons with the gray background. But once you are trying to get the icon without the gray background they are not available.

For example: Gray icon for Breakfast is available: https://foursquare.com/img/categories_v2/food/breakfast_bg_32.png

But without it, it is not: https://foursquare.com/img/categories/food/breakfast_32.png

Is there a different URL I need use to construct to get all these?

Thanks!

Solution

  • How about this url:

    https://foursquare.com/img/categories_v2/food/breakfast_32.png

    If you go to this page, it looks blank, but there is an image there (white icon on white background). View the page source and you will see that the icon is on the page. The icon should be in the upper left corner, you can right click on it, download it, and then view it in another app.
