Setting up Foursquare

To get started, create a new application on Foursquare for your website by going to https://foursquare.com/developers/apps.

Enter the Application Name, Welcome page url and Redirect URIs. For the redirect URL enter http://localhost:3000/foursquare/auth. Once you are done registering you will be given a Client ID and Client Secret.

Once you have those four items open the server > .env file and enter:

  • Client ID string under FOURSQUARE_CLIENT_ID
  • Client Secret string under FOURSQUARE_CLIENT_SECRET

Also make sure to set:

  • FOURSQUARE_INTEGRATION_DISABLED to false
  • FOURSQUARE_OAUTH_ENABLED to true
  • FOURSQUARE_UPDATE_FREQ_MINUTES to the number of minutes you want to wait before updating the data. Note A small number is not always the best and it might make Syte2 slow, use a number close to how often you use Foursquare.

Next, restart the server and open the following url http://localhost:3000/foursquare/auth, you will be taken to Foursquare's website and will be asked to sign in and authorize your application. After you authorized you will be taken back to Syte2 and you will be given your Access Token. Open the server > .env file again and enter:

  • Access Token under FOURSQUARE_ACCESS_TOKEN

Next, restart the server and open the following url http://localhost:3000/instagram/setup. If everything is setup right, this will fetch some of your recent check-ins and save them to the database. Next we need to setup map we use in the Foursquare page.

Setting Google Maps

In order to set up Google Maps we need to get an API Key from Google. If you haven't done so, login to the Google Developers Console by going to https://console.developers.google.com. Navigate to API Manager > Credentials and create a new project, after that's done go to the OAuth consent screen and enter a Product name (all other fields are optional).

Next click on Create credentials > API Key > Browser Key and enter the following:

Once you are done you will be given a API Key, open the file client > app > scripts > env.js and enter the key under GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY.

Restart the server and re-run grunt serve from the client folder. You should now be able to go to http://localhost:3000 and see that any recent check-ins in your stream and at this point your Foursquare page should also be working.
