Hi I am using python/beautiful soup to scrap information from foursquare’s XML
it seems that after a certain number is reached, I cannot access foursquare at all.
Does anyone know if I need an access token even if I’m not trying to develop anything?
Scrapping foursquare content is prohibited (“You shall not (directly or indirectly)… harvest or scrape any Content from the Service;”) and you probably triggered the protection mechanism guarding against developers doing this.
See the foursquare Terms of Service for more details
