I’m specifically looking to find venues which a NY Times has annotated data for. The goal is to call /venues/VENUE_ID/annotations and get links to articles referring to that venue.
https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/venues/search.html
The above api documentation is clear that providerId and linkedId must be used in conjunction with one another but linkedId seems proprietary and secret to the annotator (the NY Times).
Is there any way to just search by providerId?
There’s currently no way to filter search by providerId.
The linkedId for a provider is the internal ID they use for referencing the venue. In the case of the NYTs, they put this ID in the URL of their Restaurant Details page (e.g. http://www.nytimes.com/restaurants/1247467962332/abc-kitchen/details.html)
/venues/link returns all annotations for a venueId.
