Foursquare Places is a global points-of-interest dataset covering 100M+ venues across 200+ countries.
Foursquare Places provides a points-of-interest dataset built from machine-learning synthesis of check-ins, third-party sources, and validation. It covers venues with attributes such as location, chain, hours, social media, and popularity.
The dataset ships through multiple tiers and delivery methods including S3, Snowflake, and flat files. Developers use it for mapping features, competitive intelligence, site selection, and transaction mapping.
Adds products that compete with one of Places’ direct competitors but not with Places itself. They are shaded, and Linked Through names the direct competitor each one competes with.
