Is it possible to export my location history from Foursquare?

Here's a Python script that will export your entire checkin history using the Foursquare API.

1. import requests 
2. import json 
3.  
4. url_template = 'https://api.foursquare.com/v2/users/self/checkins?limit=250&oauth_token={}&v=20131026&offset={}' 
5.  
6. token = "" # replace with oauth token 
7. offset = 0 
8. data = [] 
9.  
10. with open("/tmp/checkins.json", 'w') as f: 
11. while True: 
12. response = requests.get(url_template.format(oauth_token, offset)) 
13. if len(response.json()['response']['checkins']['items']) == 0: 
14. break 
15.  
16. data.append(response.json()) 
17. offset += 250 
18.  
19. f.write(json.dumps(data))

If you don't already have an oauth token available, visit the Foursquare API Explorer to generate one for you automatically, and then just replace the "token" variable above with it.

Before running the script, you will also need to have installed the "requests" library. E.g.,

1. pip install requests 

Enjoy!
