Migrate from HERE Geocoder API to HERE Geocoding and Search v7
The "HERE Geocoding and Search v7" product offers a simplified API, integrating the features of both the "HERE Geocoder API" and "HERE Places (Search) API" products. This guide will focus at the part of "HERE Geocoding and Search v7" relevant to the customers of "HERE Geocoder API" and the related products "Geocoder Autocompletion API" and "Batch Geocoder API".
In this document, we will use the following shorter names:
- "GS7" for "HERE Geocoding and Search v7"
Changes Overview
The following general actions must be taken to complete the migration:
- understand conceptual changes: mapping of Geocoder related APIs and resources to GS7 endpoints and differences in result types
- adapt or change authentication method
- update request parameters and output format for each of Geocoder related APIs and resources
Note
There are some input as well as output parameters that are no longer supported due to conceptual changes. These are detailed in this guide.
Geocoder related APIs and resources
The mapping below summarizes how Geocoder related APIs and resources correspond to the GS7 endpoints.
| HERE Geocoder API | HERE Geocoder API resource | HERE Geocoder API input type | GS7 equivalent endpoint | Status |
