Location Data Visualization

Curious about how location data could empower you to build new apps? This challenge is for you.

Gather or join a team of developers for a fast-paced, virtual hackathon focused on building agentic applications (AI-driven tools that are context aware and can take action) with real-world awareness using the Foursquare Places API.

You’ll get hands-on with our APIs that bring location data into your codebase, enabling your apps to understand surroundings, POI context, and service with location recommendations in an entirely new way.

Themes

Develop an agentic application or solution that uses at least 1 Foursquare Places API endpoint.

Please create a free account on https://foursquare.com/developers/signup. Foursquare provides up to 10,000 free calls on our standard Pro endpoints.

Finding Relevant Places

Powerful, location-aware consumer applications unlock functionality to find meaningful and recommended places near you (e.g, nearest coffee shop, grocery store, etc). By returning relevant and proximal places, Foursquare enables developers to creatively build new ways to offer users value in agentic applications. Projects in this category will leverage search endpoints to solve inventive challenges and provide great experiences in agentic applications.

Unlocking Contextual Place Information

Return valuable contextual data about a place to offer powerful features in agentic applications (e.g, address, telephone, website, etc.). Projects in this category will leverage the place details endpoints to solve inventive challenges and provide great experiences in agentic applications.
