How can I see how many people are checked in somewhere via the FourSquare API?

Question

I am searching for a method to see how many people are checked in somewhere. Example: There are 73 people checked-in via swarm in the library. How can I get this information through the API? I couldn't find anything in the api that could do this.

It looks like to me Four Square has documentation for Real time api, https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/realtime, otherwise it looks like they use swarm as well, https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/users/checkins, I hope this helps.
