Foursquare Places - Los Angeles Sample

Foursquare has developed a map of the world using first-party data derived from over 14 billion explicit check-ins from our consumer apps. We’ve built and refined those maps for the past 11 years. We’ve also merged with leaders in the space to increase our breadth of sources and improve our ability to ingest, aggregate, and resolve billions of location data references. Over the last 10 years of focus on location data, we’ve also accumulated numerous geographic datasets, geospatial assets, and validation rules. This dataset contains over 300K POI for the city of Los Angeles across all categories and is available for download in all regions.

Foursquare programmatically crawls 46K authoritative sources for inputs. We combine our first-party data, ground truth data sets, web resources, and partner with 3rd parties to incorporate updates directly from business owners to ensure as close to 100% coverage as possible.

Foursquare’s Places delivery comes with 25 core attributes and a multitude of extended attributes (5 add-on options). The Core Attributes are included in all of our packages.
