Can i check in without providing venue id – thavasidurai Aug 22 '13 at 14:52
No you cannot check-in without a venueId because you need to check-in to a specific venue! – octopi Aug 22 '13 at 14:54
Is there any API to get venue id for the input of lat and long – thavasidurai Aug 22 '13 at 15:02

Once you have an access token, the hard part is done! You can use the access token in either a call in a client library or you can make a direct HTTP POST request to our checkins/add endpoint. The URI should look like, before adding any other optional parameters:

https://api.foursquare.com/v2/checkins/add?oauth_token=ACCESS_TOKEN&venueId=VENUE_ID&v=20130822

Note that Foursquare also released native auth for iOS, which can make getting the access token even easier without having to use a UIWebView.

Yes, you can use our [venues/search](https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/venues/search) or [venues/explore](https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/venues/explore) endpoints – octopi Aug 22 '13 at 18:14
