Creators of Home Venues can now receive Venue Push API notifications

[Akshay Patil]

For those of you who've wanted to play with our Venue Push API, but ran into the roadblock of creating/claiming a venue: good news! Last week we pushed a change and now apps that register for Venue Push notifications will receive check-ins from home venues created by their authenticated users (in addition to the usual managed venues).

In other words, if you want to test our Venue Push API, now you can just create a Home venue and then authorize your app. Your app will start receiving push notifications for check-ins to the Home venue.

Enjoy!
