FAQ

Questions Foursquare owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my agent search for places within a specific drawn area (polygon)?

    Yes. Use the 'search_within_polygon' capability. Provide a coordinate string representing the multi-point geometry. The agent will analyze the localized boundaries and restrict the POI lookup strictly inside that drawn area.

  • 02

    How do I retrieve the opening hours and ratings for a venue via chat?

    Use the 'get_place_details' capability. Provide the Foursquare ID (fsq_id). The agent will fetch the full payload including operating hours, average ratings, and price levels natively from the places graph.

  • 03

    Can I see photos and user tips for a specific store through the agent?

    Absolutely. Use the 'get_place_photos' and 'get_place_tips' capabilities. Your agent will pull dynamic image URLs and capture raw text sentiments left by other visitors to help you evaluate venue quality flawlessly.
