Getting User details from Push API checkin

I'm using Foursquare Push APIs in our server. It's working just fine but for one problem. I'm accessing user checkins in my php file as:

$jsonresponse = json_decode($_REQUEST["checkin"]);

and for the user I'm obtaining firstname, lastname etc as usual. But when I try to access user details (email etc.) by:

$jsonresponse->user->contact->email

it returns a blank field. I'm testing with my own 4Sq account so I know my email value is present. Am I missing something?

Thank you all in advance.

The Push API calls contain a compact user as opposed to a full user object (see: https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/responses/user). You'll need to retrieve the full user details to access the contact information (/users/self)
