Integrating this Format with FME Form

Overview
Foursquare Studio, previously called Unfolded, is a geospatial analytics platform for working with large geospatial datasets. Foursquare Studio supports analysis and unification across a variety of geospatial data formats, from tables and vector tiles to satellite imagery. The Studio platform allows users to load and visualize their datasets as layers on maps.
Authentication
Using the Foursquare Studio Data Reader/Writer requires a Foursquare Studio Web Connection. For more information, see Foursquare Studio Data: Add Web Connection.
Reader Overview
The reader supports Foursquare Studio datasets that were originally imported into Foursquare Studio from CSV, GeoJSON, JSON, or Shapefiles; or datasets created by FME using the Foursquare Studio Data writer.
Since dataset names are not unique in Foursquare Studio, the dataset ID must be provided. The ID of a Foursquare Studio dataset is a UUID which can be found looking at the final part of a dataset URL in Foursquare Studio.

To locate the dataset URL in Foursquare Studio |
Click on the dataset in https://studio.foursquare.com/workspace/datasets/user. |
|
To locate the dataset UUID |
Example If the dataset URL is: https://studio.foursquare.com/workspace/datasets/abcd1234-1234-1234-1234-abcd1234abcd Then the dataset’s UUID would be: abcd1234-1234-1234-1234-abcd1234abcd |
The reader can generate FME geometry on output features based on a specified geometry column in the dataset. The corresponding column will still appear as a user attribute in the schema, and the data from which the geometry is being generated will still appear on output features.
Writer Overview
The writer can be used to create new Foursquare Studio datasets or replace the contents of an existing dataset. Datasets will be created by uploading tabular .json files.
FME geometry on incoming features can be written to a specified field in the dataset. If referring to an existing Foursquare Studio dataset, a feature type name is expected to contain the dataset’s ID in the format: <dataset_name> (<dataset_id>) or <dataset_id>. For example:
PublicArt(abcd1234-1234-1234-1234-abcd1234abcd)
If there is no dataset ID in the feature type name, a new dataset will be created and named after the feature type.
