Question

i’m new to foursquare API. I’m trying to make it work wioth my wordpress website (listing directory, like venues) and for each venue I want to display the “hereNow” users along with photos and reviews/tips.
I’ve registered my app and so I have both client id and secret.
for tips/photos I think i cant do without Auth, but I wonder why herenow is missing from my array.
this is the query i’ve used on my php file:

$venue = $fsObjUnAuth->get('/venues/search', array('near' => $city, 'query' => $title ));

where

$fsObjUnAuth = new EpiFoursquare($clientId, $clientSecret);

and city and title are taken from WordPress custom fields.

I got the correct ouput but herenow is missing, here an extract:

   ["verified"]=>
      bool(false)
      ["stats"]=>
      object(stdClass)#20 (3) {
        ["checkinsCount"]=>
        int(1)
        ["usersCount"]=>
        int(1)
        ["tipCount"]=>
        int(0)
      }
      ["likes"]=>
      object(stdClass)#21 (2) {
        ["count"]=>
        int(0)
        ["groups"]=>
        array(0) {
        }
      }
      ["specials"]=>
      array(0) {
      }
    }

It is supposed to be below Specials but no trace. In the Api Explorer it appears regularly, but on my files not.
Any hint?

thanks!

I’ve fixed this adding the “v=” query at the end of the json url basically it is the date(Ymd) needed in the v2 API. with that, my output shows the hereNow
