Foursquare is giving away their place data for FREE

What's in the data

Foursquare's dataset is updated monthly, has global coverage and has over 22 attributes. It's a huge contribution to the mapping and open-source community. Everyone in spatial is exploring, assessing, and integrating the data.

The raw dataset available is unfiltered, meaning you can also access all of the historical data and closed places which is useful. This also means that you have to filter the data first before using it.

Offering this tool makes it easy for everyone in the spatial community to access the data more easily.
