Foursquare's reflections on their design decisions for their v2 API
Published:
As we sunset foursquare APIv1 and announce some amazing new milestones
for APIv2, now seemed like as good a time as any to reflect on some of
the decisions we made in APIv2 and see how they’re holding up.
Fortunately, we were able to draw on both our experience with APIv1 and
from tight iteration with our client developers (especially Anoop, who
is awesome!). We’re pretty happy with the result, but we still made a
few mistakes. Hopefully there are some lessons for anybody else out
there who gets stuck designing an API.
