// Foursquare only allows for 500 api requests/hr for a given client (meaning the below code would be
// a very inefficient use of your api calls on a production application). It would be a better idea in
// this scenario to have a caching layer for user details and only request the details of users that
// you have not yet seen. Alternatively, several client keys could be tried in a round-robin pattern
// to increase your allowed requests.
