    <p>One of our testers found this issue:</p> <p>This foursquare venue <a href="https://foursquare.com/v/whole-foods-market/4a38676cf964a520f49e1fe3" rel="nofollow">https://foursquare.com/v/whole-foods-market/4a38676cf964a520f49e1fe3</a></p> <p>When returned as a result of this url query <a href="https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=32.747837,--17158101&amp;radius=250&amp;intent=checkin" rel="nofollow">https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=32.747837,--17158101&amp;radius=250&amp;intent=checkin</a> [some more parameters including secret key]</p> <p>Produces a result JSON string which includes the venue, but the array of contact data is completely empty. The foursquare page for the venue lists the twitter contact and URL contact fields, but the JSON looks like this: {"id":"4a38676cf964a520f49e1fe3","name":"Whole Foods Market","contact":{},"location" [more data]</p> <p>Other venues returned by the search typically have the contact data. I noticed that this one venue does not have a phone number specified. Could the API be triggering off of that and null'ing out the entire contact list?</p> <p>UPDATE: Here is the complete URL request, with the exception of the ID and KEY values</p> <pre><code>https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=32.747837,-117.158101&amp;radius=250&amp;intent=checkin&amp;limit=50&amp;v=20120502&amp;client_secret=XXX&amp;client_id=YYY&amp;categoryId=4bf58dd8d48988d1f9941735,4bf58dd8d48988d118951735,4d4b7105d754a06374d81259,4d4b7105d754a06376d81259 </code></pre>

    1. COI can't replicate your behavior, after adding my own secret id and key, changing your longitude to -117.58101, and adding v=20130501. All I get is an empty array for venue.

    3. COThis may be an issue with our API—I'll send updates if I hear anything back. It may have something to do with the fact that this is associated with a chain on Foursquare.

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
