Global Places Dataset

Foursquare has developed a map of the world using first-party data derived from over 14 billion explicit check-ins from our consumer apps and other high quality location data sources.

Foursquare’s Global Places dataset comes with 25 core attributes and a multitude of optional extended attributes (6 add-on options). The full data schema can be viewed [here](https://location.foursquare.com/places/docs/flat-file-data-schema).

Use Case Examples:**
- Place Search/Recommendation for Consumer Experience. Types of customers range from social platforms (e.g. enabling global geotags for Twitter) to food delivery services (e.g. restaurant discovery for sales outreach) to ride hail (e.g. address and place name matching for Uber).
- Trade area analysis, competitive analysis, and market research. Businesses with a physical footprint will benefit from Foursquare Places data to better enable site selection decisions and unlock the potential value of a geolocation.
- Transaction data enrichment. Transaction data can be messy, inconsistent, and lack key information necessary to give context to the transaction. By joining transaction data with POI data, businesses can better understand buyer behavior and model spend patterns – this enriched data helps improve products and delivers more engaging customer experiences
