manybots-foursquare is a Manybots Observer that allows you to import your checkins from Foursquare to your local Manybots.
You need the latest version of Manybots Local running on your system. Open your Terminal and cd into its' directory.
First, require the gem: edit your Botfile, add the following, and run bundle install
gem 'manybots-foursquare', :git => 'git://github.com/manybots/manybots-foursquare.git'
Second, run the manybots-foursquare install generator (mind the underscore):
rails g manybots_foursquare:install
Now you need to register your Foursquare Observer with Foursquare.
Your Foursquare Observer uses OAuth to authorize you (and/or your other Manybots Local users) with Foursquare.
Register your application with Foursquare to get the Client ID and Secret. Go to the Foursquare App Management page and create a new application.
And then copy-paste the Client ID and Client Secret in the appropriate "replace me" parts.
Details:
-
Go to this link: https://foursquare.com/oauth/register
-
Enter information like described in the screenshot below
- Copy the Client ID and Secret into
config/initializers/manybots-foursquare.rb
config.foursquare_app_id = 'Client ID'
config.foursquare_app_secret = 'Secret'
Restart your server and you'll see the Foursquare Observer in your /apps catalogue. Go to the app, sign-in to your Foursquare account and start importing your checkins into Manybots.
If your checkins don't seem to be updating, open your console, reset the worker's latest checkin timestamp, and reschedule the task.
# rails console
app = ClientApplication.find_by_nickname 'manybots-foursquare'
oauth_account = OauthAccount.find_by_client_application_id app.id
worker = FoursquareWorker.new oauth_account.id
worker.reset_ids!
worker.perform
