How to send checkin via api to swarm


Hi how can i send checkin to swarm via swarm api from external php application. Is there a way to send checkin via api calling as like to posting post to facebook.


Solution

  • @Gokigooooks already said important things. And URL sample:

    https://api.foursquare.com/v2/checkins/add?
    venueId=IHR8THISVNU& // The venue where the user is checking in
    broadcast=public,facebook& // POST TO FACEBOOK
    ll=33.7,44.2& // User location
    alt=44.038330& // User altitude (option)
    oauth_token=(OAUTH_TOKEN)& // User aouth token (need login)
    v=20150929 // api version
    

    EDIT

    After checkin, Checkin id will be returned. (e.g. IHR8THISVNU)

    Then you need to access the following URL

    https://api.foursquare.com/v2/photos/add?
    checkinId =IHR8THISVNU& // the ID of a checkin owned by the user
    broadcast=facebook& // POST TO FACEBOOK
    public=1& // allows for making the photo public and viewable at the venue (option)
    oauth_token=(OAUTH_TOKEN)& // User aouth token (need login)
    v=20150929 // api version
    

    In addition, the image file data must be posted. The image data is sent as the POST message body on the HTTP request.
