Concepts

This section describes the concepts of the HERE Fuel Prices API on the HERE platform.

The HERE Fuel Prices API is a RESTful API that:

• provides dynamic data on the price of fuel at fuel stations within a specified area and filtered by desired fuel type.
• provides lists of fuel stations within a specified area, including data on fuel types available, prices and location.
• provides data such as fuel prices and location information for individual fuel stations.
• provides a price index for a specified geometry that ranks the fuel stations using current prices and statistically-modelled prices where the price data is unavailable.

The Fuel Prices API provides solutions for the following high level use cases.

• Show lists of fuel stations with information on location and prices along a planned route or based on a location.
• Allow the user to sort fuel stations based on the price index.
