Not sure if this is a recent change that has not been posted in the change log. I dont see the "url" field in the response for photos.item to https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/VENUE_ID/photos

as per the documentation in:

https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/responses/photo

The current response contains a prefix/suffix - and concatenating them does not give me a url that works:

{

id: "4fd2d8ebe4b0191b9baa0f27"
createdAt: 1339218155
source: {
    name: "Instagram"
    url: "http://instagram.com"
}
prefix: "https://irs3.4sqi.net/img/general/"
suffix: "/6HAKqu62Rs08SA91kcigymvft2D3NliwE12D0JtJWbo.jpg"
width: 612
height: 612
user: {
    id: "579544"
    firstName: "Nick"
    lastName: "J."
    photo: {
        prefix: "https://irs2.4sqi.net/img/user/"
        suffix: "/VDJ3TVMKB03IGDYD.jpg"
    }
}
visibility: "public"

}

  • I was able to get this to work by contenating the prefix and suffix with "original" in between like so : https://irs3.4sqi.net/img/general/original//6HAKqu62Rs08SA91kcigymvft2D3NliwE12D0JtJWbo.jpg. Looks like the API documentation needs to be updated on the prefix and suffix format for the url – user1446282 Jun 10 '12 at 04:12
  • Got the same problem with the profile pic of a user: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10967413/how-to-get-profile-pic-for-foursquare-user-based-on-the-object – kurt Jun 10 '12 at 08:48

There are two other questions about the same issue:
how to get profile pic for foursquare user based on the object
Foursquare API for venue user image error

These are changes they made at the 20120609 update, either use the fix suggested here ([prefix]/original/[suffix]) or lower the version number (the 'v' parameter)

Foursquare will probably release some documentation about this soon.
