TL;DR The Fused Team made Foursquare's open dataset of 100M global places accessible via GeoParquet files which you can access via a UDF.

Foursquare just released an open dataset of over 100M global places of interest.

We at Fused have partitioned these points into easily accessible GeoParquet files, and hosted them on Source Cooperative

On top of that, we've build a publicly available User Defined Function (UDF) that anyone can use to easily look at & download to GeoJSON, all from the browser


Try it out for yourself!

You don't need to login or create an account to easily access the Foursquare POI points
