Python - Foursquare API “Missing Auth Credentials'” userless search?
I am trying to use the foursquare API for the first time and have not been able to get a 200 status code no matter what I tried. Using directly the code foursquare provides in its docs, I attempt to do a userless request, replacing my client ID and secret where necessary.
def places_search(term,street, zipcode):
params = dict(
client_id='MY_CLIENT_ID',
client_secret='MY_CLIENT_SECRET',
v='20181122',
near=street + 'New York, NY ' + zipcode,
query=term,
limit=1
)
url = "https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/explore"
resp = requests.get(url=url, params=params)
#grabbing the JSON result
data = json.loads(resp.text)
return data
print(places_search("starbucks","3rd avenue","10009"))
I get the following error code:
{'meta': {'code': 400, 'errorType': 'invalid_auth', 'errorDetail': 'Missing access credentials. See https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/api/configuration/authentication for details.', 'requestId': '5bf6cbb26a607137bc33b7f2'}, 'response': {}}
I find it odd given my request is userless and matches exactly the way they outline it in the docs... Would you have an idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,

I implemented your code and it works fine for me. Maybe your client_id/client_secret is wrong.

As per the documentation:
To make a userless request, specify your consumer key’s Client ID and
Secret instead of an auth token in the request URL.
Like this:
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=40.7,-74&client_id=CLIENT_ID&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET&v=YYYYMMDD
Since you are passing the credentials as the request parameters, the server cannot authenticate you.
