Generate route handle

To generate a route handle, you need to specify return=routeHandle in a route calculation request.

To reproduce a route with a previously generated routeHandle, you need to send the handle to the /v8/routes/ endpoint, together with any other needed parameters.

curl -X GET \
    'https://router.hereapi.com/v8/routes?origin=52.550028,13.302349&destination=52.553272,13.305195&return=routeHandle&transportMode=car&apikey={YOUR_API_KEY}'
