Your URL is Userless access. foursquare app uses oauth_token instead of client_id/client_secret.

ex) https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/explore?ll=40.7,-74&oauth_token=USER_ACCESS_TOKEN&v=20150824

This is why your URL return different result than in foursquare app.

To use oauth_token, you need to authenticate the user.
