using foursquare api v2 to get herenow of a venue

on the documentation page, https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/venues, it says that

The Venues Platform lets developers use foursquare as their location layer. Applications can search our database and find information including tips, photos, check-in counts, and here now. Searches can be done near a point or through a whole city, and they can be restricted to trending or recommended places. The platform offers all of this without requiring end user authentication and is available at high rate limits.

however, when i send request like: https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/4ad7a112f964a520050d21e3/herenow?client_id=myclientid&client_secret=myclientsecret&v=20120119

i got this:

{"meta":{"code":200},"response":{"hereNow":{"count":16,"items":[]}}}

is there anything i need to do, such as register as a venue platform developer, to get the list of people who are here? thanks!

You cannot get the users information without authenticating [ :( ]

Check out the documentation at the herenow endpoint page.

Specifically the first line:

Provides a count of how many people are at a given venue. If the request is user authenticated, also returns a list of the users there, friends-first.
