using foursquare api php
I am performing a search for venues with nightlife categories:
$params = array("near"=>"92101", "radius"=>"800", "intent"=>"checkin",
"categoryId"=>"4d4b7105d754a06376d81259", "limit"=>"50");
$venues = $foursquare->GetPublic("venues/search", $params);
works as expected...kind of. the problem is restaurants that have been sub categorized as bars are filling up my return limit. so in that search i may only get a few actual nightlife venues. it would be very helpful if i could omit venues that have certain categories. get 50 nightlife venues but not the ones also labeled as food.
i have searched around and keep re-reading the search endpoint page hoping i overlooked the omit feature. any help?
