This is a simple REST client written using Java and Spring Boot. This client consumes Json response from FourSquare Api's Venues service and returns recommended or popular venues for a user enetered Location.

1. checkout the code
2. mvn package
3. java -jar target/venues-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

The mvn package will also create a war, which can be used to deploy the application in any Container (tomcat)

Note: application.properties contain client_id and client_secret, which can be generated by visiting and signing up at https://foursquare.com/developers/apps.

Once started locally, the service can be checked using below url http:https://localhost:8080/venues/doesNotExist
