How do I get the foursquare venue ID from the new pretty url

The new venue urls are prettier but the ID isn't there and there is no mechanism to look up the ID from the pretty url.

For example, this particular url: https://foursquare.com/felice_83

How can I look up the venueID?

When searching a Place on foursquare.com, or expanding a 4sq.com short link, the ID will be appended automatically to the pretty URL, e.g.

https://foursquare.com/v/sim-lim-square/4b058815f964a520aab022e3

Where 4b058815f964a520aab022e3 is the Venue ID. This will save you time on manual lookups compared to reverse engineering the vid query string param from the "Claim it now." links.

In the righthand sidebar, there is a link to Claim the location. In the URL for that claim link, the "vid" parameter is the venue ID.
