The Places API used to have an href
property that linked to a HERE page for the associated result, so it was easy to use it for attribution. This screenshot shows the field (towards the bottom of the result) for a search result from the places API:
This screenshot shows the result for the same place, but from the search v7 api:
The href
property is missing, and there's no replacement. Is there a way to request that the attribute be included in the result? Was the intention for 3rd-party devs to effectively replace the functionality of the href
by performing a GET request to the /lookup
endpoint using the provided id
field of the place?
is there any specific attributes that you are looking for? Basically the idea is that the search V7 provides more info than the Places Api, you can check the examples below: https://discover.search.hereapi.com/v1/discover?at=40.7307999,-73.9973085&q=Statue+of+liberty vs https://places.ls.hereapi.com/places/v1/discover/search?at=40.7307999,-73.9973085&q=Statue+of+liberty&app_id={}&app_code={}
(if you believe you do need the lookup function you can use this endpoint example: https://lookup.search.hereapi.com/v1/lookup?id=here:pds:place:840dr5r7-9df1349708914ceba912909970598cf7) Let us know if you have any further questions.
