Foursquare search venues by category, invalid categoryId error

I'm trying to fetch venues for category with id=4bf58dd8d48988d1dd941735 using venues/search endpoint.

venues/search?categoryId=4bf58dd8d48988d1dd941735

After this call I get an error "Invalid categoryId 4bf58dd8d48988d1dd941735"

{
  meta: {
    code: 400
    errorType: "param_error"
    errorDetail: "Invalid categoryId 4bf58dd8d48988d1dd941735"
  }
  response: { }
}

Does it mean that the given category was removed from foursquare and I should remove it from my application?

The full list of valid categories can be accessed by the venues/categories endpoint. The ID you've given does not appear in it's output, so no, that's not a valid category ID.
