Things your AI can do in Foursquare
Your FormWise AI can handle any of these in Foursquare — on its own, without you needing to click a button.
Autocomplete places
PopularReturns autocomplete suggestions for places as the user types their search query. This endpoint provides real-time search suggestions including places, search terms, and geographic areas. Use this action when you need to provide typeahead/autocomplete functionality for place searches, typically after a user has entered at least 3 characters. The results are optimized for interactive search experiences and include text highlighting to show matched portions of the query.
Get trending venues
PopularRetrieves venues currently trending in a specified geographic area, sorted by popularity based on recent foot traffic and activity patterns. This action identifies places experiencing increased visitor engagement over a 6-month period, making it ideal for discovering what's hot and popular right now in a given location. The popularity metric ranges from 0 to 1, with higher values indicating stronger trending status based on real-world visitation data. Use this action when you need to find popular venues, discover trending spots, or identify places with high current engagement in a specific area. This is particularly useful for recommendations, local discovery features, or understanding which venues are currently experiencing peak popularity.
Validate API credentials
PopularValidates Foursquare API credentials by performing a lightweight place search. This action verifies that the provided API key is valid and has proper access to the Foursquare Places API. Use this action when you need to test API connectivity or confirm that authentication credentials are correctly configured before performing other operations. The action returns a success indicator along with the count of places retrieved from a test search, confirming both authentication and API access.
Retrieve nearby places v3
The GetNearbyPlaces endpoint retrieves a list of places near a specified location, primarily supporting check-in use cases and local discovery. It returns points of interest (POIs) including lower quality results not found in the standard Place Search, enhancing location-based experiences with additional data like photos, reviews, and tips. This endpoint is ideal for applications seeking to provide users with a comprehensive view of their surroundings, including less prominent or newer locations. While it offers a broader range of results, it may sacrifice some precision compared to more focused search endpoints. Use this when you want to offer users a diverse array of nearby options, particularly for social check-in features or exploratory local recommendations.
Retrieve place photos by id
Retrieves photos associated with a specific place in Foursquare's database. This endpoint allows you to access user-generated images for a particular point of interest (POI) using its unique Foursquare ID (fsq_id). It's useful for enhancing your application with visual content related to locations, such as restaurants, landmarks, or businesses. The endpoint returns photo data that can be used to construct image URLs for display. Keep in mind that the number and quality of photos may vary depending on the popularity and user engagement of the place. This tool should be used when you need to display or analyze visual information about a specific location in your application.
Retrieve place tips using fsq id
Retrieves user-generated tips for a specific place in the Foursquare database. This endpoint allows you to fetch valuable insights and experiences shared by Foursquare users about a particular venue. It's useful for enhancing location-based applications with real user feedback, helping users make informed decisions about places they might visit. The endpoint returns a list of tips, which may include information such as the tip text, the user who created it, and potentially a timestamp or rating.
Retrieve places by id
Retrieves detailed information about a specific place using its unique Foursquare ID (FSQ ID). This endpoint provides comprehensive data about a venue, including its name, address, category, ratings, tips, photos, and other relevant information. It's particularly useful when you need in-depth details about a known location, such as for displaying venue profiles or gathering specific place attributes. The endpoint should be used when you have a valid FSQ ID and require the most up-to-date and complete information about that place. Note that this endpoint focuses on individual place details and does not provide search functionality or lists of multiple venues.
Search places api request
The GetPlacesSearch endpoint allows you to search for places in the Foursquare database based on various criteria such as location, keywords, and categories. This tool is ideal for discovering nearby points of interest or finding specific venues. It returns a list of places matching the specified parameters, providing essential information about each location. Use this endpoint for location-based features or gathering venue information in a specific area.

Questions other Foursquare users had before signing up
Do I need to know how to code?
Not even a little. If you can use Foursquare today, you can set this up. You'll connect Foursquare, tell your AI what it should help with, and you're live. The whole thing is built for coaches, course creators, agencies, and operators — not engineers.
Will my clients know they're talking to an AI?
Only if you want them to. Your FormWise AI is trained on your voice, your offer, and the way you actually communicate — so it sounds like a thoughtful team member, not a clunky chatbot. Most people can't tell.
Can I make it sound like me?
Yes. You can give your AI examples of how you write, the questions you usually ask new clients, the way you handle objections, and the language you use about your offer. The more you give it, the more it sounds like you wrote it.
What if I want to take over a conversation?
You're always in control. You can step in at any point, take over from your AI, or stop it from sending messages until you've reviewed them. Think of it as a teammate, not a replacement.
Is my client data safe?
Yes. Your Foursquare login and client information stay scoped to your workspace. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and we don't use your data to train anyone else's AI. You can disconnect Foursquare or delete everything any time.
What happens when Foursquare updates their app?
We handle it. When Foursquare adds new features or changes how something works, we update the integration in the background. You don't have to do anything — your AI just keeps working.
How fast can I actually get this running?
Most people are up and running the same day they sign up. Connecting Foursquare takes a few minutes. Teaching your AI to handle the work the way you'd want it done is the part worth slowing down for.
What is FormWise?
FormWise is the AI agent builder for coaches, course creators, and agencies. You connect the apps you already use — like Foursquare — train your AI on your offer and voice, and let it handle the work you've been doing manually: onboarding, follow-ups, support, admin. No code, no developers, no engineering team required.
Can I sell AI agents to my clients?
Yes. A lot of FormWise users build AI assistants and sell them as part of their offer — done-for-you AI setups, white-label assistants for client businesses, custom GPTs trained on a client's brand. You can charge a setup fee, a monthly retainer, or both.
Can I embed my AI on my website or in my course?
Yes. Every AI you build in FormWise can be embedded on your site, dropped into your course platform, or shared as a standalone link. Your clients and students just open it like any other web page — no app to download, no login hoops.
Do I need to know anything about AI to use this?
No. If you can describe what you want your AI to do in plain English — "greet new clients, ask these 3 questions, book them a call" — FormWise can build it. We handle the models, the prompts, the connections. You handle the part you already know: what your business actually needs.
