HERE Technologies

HERE Technologies is a location data and technology company offering a broad REST API surface for mapping, geocoding, search, routing, fleet planning, traffic, weather, transit, geofencing, tracking, and HD live mapping for automated driving, plus client SDKs (Maps API for JavaScript, native SDKs for iOS and Android, Flutter), HERE Studio and Workspace for data hosting, and HERE Platform for enterprise data ingestion and processing. Most Location Services APIs are served under the *.hereapi.com domain and authenticated by API key, OAuth token, or app id / app code.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

API Evangelist profiles HERE Technologies the way a machine reads it — 34 machine-readable artifacts across 27 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — HERE Technologies scores 35.1/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile HERE Technologies

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for HERE Technologies. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 27

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

HERE Geocoding and Search API

Forward and reverse geocoding, address lookup, place discovery, browse, and details. Returns rich location data including addresses, places, categories, and geometry.

HERE Autosuggest API

Type-ahead search returning place and address suggestions for partial queries, sharing the geocoding and search dataset.

HERE Routing API v8

Calculates routes for car, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, scooter, taxi, and EV vehicles with traffic, restrictions, tolls, alternatives, and turn-by-turn instructions.

HERE Matrix Routing API v8

Batch many-to-many travel time and distance matrices for fleet routing, logistics, and territory planning.

HERE Isoline Routing API v8

Computes reachable areas (isolines) by time, distance, or consumption from one or more origins for site selection and service-area analysis.

HERE Tour Planning API

Vehicle routing problem (VRP) solver for fleets, with time windows, capacities, breaks, skills, multi-trip, and pickup-and-delivery constraints.

HERE Waypoint Sequence API

Optimizes the order of intermediate stops for a single vehicle route to minimize travel time or distance.

HERE Traffic API v7

Real-time traffic flow and incident data: speeds, jam factors, and incident events for monitoring, routing, and analytics.

HERE Public Transit API

Multi-modal public transit routing, station and stop lookup, departure boards, and next-departure data for transit-enabled apps.

HERE Destination Weather API

Current conditions, forecasts, and severe weather alerts at a coordinate or destination, intended to enrich routing, ETAs, and travel planning.

HERE Map Tile API

Raster, vector, satellite, and hybrid map tiles served via tile and style endpoints, including the HERE Vector Tile API for client-side rendering.

HERE Map Image API

Renders static map images for a given location, route, or geometry as PNG/JPEG, with markers and overlays.

HERE Tracking API

Asset tracking platform: ingests positions and telemetry from devices, manages devices and projects, and exposes geofencing, history, and events through REST.

HERE Positioning API

High-precision indoor and outdoor positioning using Wi-Fi, cellular, and Bluetooth signals.

HERE Parking API

On-street and off-street parking availability, pricing, restrictions, and locations.

HERE Platform Data API

Catalog, layer, and partition APIs for hosting and accessing location-centric data products on the HERE Platform / Workspace.

HERE HD Live Map

High-definition map product for automated driving with road geometry, lanes, signs, hazards, and dynamic updates, distributed via the HERE Platform.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
