After being in this “loose alpha” mode for the last seven months (err, what? :), we’re excited to announce that the foursquare API is now live. I’ve been itching to launch this since May.

We have a new landing page for all dev-related content: http://developer.foursquare.com. We’ve started by highlighting a few of the apps/developers on that page. Eventually, we’d love to have a directory that lists all of your work. If you have any questions or want to write in with comments directly, send a message to api@foursquare.com.

Bonus content: see the official announcement, read the official documentation.

And join the developer mailing list. It’s the best dev list. Ever. Invented.

Why is this important? Please hold. :)
