Acquiring Credentials

There are two kinds of credentials:

  • Development credentials - these credentials are for evaluation and development. To obtain your development credentials, contact your customer/sales representative and sign the appropriate evaluation agreements.
  • Production credentials - these credentials are for commerical deployment. To obtain your commercial credentials, sign the appropriate commercial agreements. You must have completed all testing, be ready for deployment and have signed a commercial agreement before you apply for production credentials.

The HERE Authentication and Authorization API is an OAuth 2.0 compliant REST API that allows you to obtain short-lived access tokens which you can use to authenticate requests to HERE services. Tokens expire after 24 hours.

To obtain a token which you can use to authenticate requests to the On-Street Parking API,

  1. Use the HERE developer portal to request an access key ID and access key secret, see the Authentication Guide for more information
  2. Using your access key ID and access key secret, create an OAuth 1.0 signature. For more information, see Creating a Signature.
  3. Using the signature, request a token using the Authentication and Authorization API. For more information, see Requesting a Token.
  4. Use the token to make REST requests to HERE services. For more information, see Using a Token.
  5. Tokens expire after 24 hours. Create a new signature and request a new token when your old one expires.
