According to this support page, by mentioning a friend in a checkin shout, you will cause that friend to be checked-in with you. However, when I POST to /v2/checkins/add and include well-formed 'shout' and 'mentions' parameters, it only tells my friends that I mentioned them in my check-in, as opposed to triggering a delegated check-in (like the native mobile apps are capable of doing).

Querying /v2/checkins/CHECKIN_ID reveals that the checkins created by the API are completely missing the 'with' field, while it is present in checkins created by the official apps.

How can I populate the 'with' field via the API?

  • Does the user you're trying to check in have the option toggled to allow check-ins by others? – octopi Feb 19 '14 at 01:01
  • Yes, they definitely have that toggled. – chrnola Feb 19 '14 at 01:03
  • Bump, any news on this one? – user2660000 Aug 16 '14 at 20:48
  • @user2660000 Nope. I assume the guys at Foursquare have been busy with the recent rollout of Swarm. I also haven't tried again since there's nothing in the documentation to suggest that this would work. When I get some time I want to proxy my phone to see what their native app sends when you checkin with someone. – chrnola Aug 20 '14 at 20:24
