Description

Returns profile information for a given user, including selected mayorships. The web profile for a user is visible at https://foursquare.com/user/USER_ID.

If the user is a friend, contact information, Facebook ID, and Twitter handle and the user's last checkin may also be present.

In addition, the pings field will indicate whether check-ins from this user will trigger a ping (notifications to mobile devices). This setting can be changed via setpings.

Note: This setting is overriden if pings is false in settings (no pings will be sent, even if this user is set to true).
