Routing API v7 Developer's Guide

Request a Public Transport Route (Deprecated)

Important: This service is deprecated and is planned to be discontinued. Please use Transit API V8 instead.

To request a public transport route, using the CalculateRoute service, include in the request the following:

your authentication credentials, apiKey or app_id and app_code if you are using the app_id/app_code authentication (see the Identity & Access Management Developer Guide)
the start (waypoint0) and destination (waypoint1) waypoints
a departure time
and a public transport routing mode

Additionally, we recommend also including the combineChange request parameter, which includes change maneuvers in the response where the user must switch transit lines, as opposed to enter and leave maneuver combinations.

Note: The RouteId can not be calculated for Public Transport Route.

This is an example request for the fastest route using estimated public transport routing. It includes the elements above, specifying the waypoints in latitude and longitude by using the geo! string value.

https://route.ls.hereapi.com/routing/7.2/calculateroute.json
?apiKey={YOUR_API_KEY}
&waypoint0=geo!52.530,13.326
&waypoint1=geo!52.513,13.407
&departure=now
&mode=fastest;publicTransport
&combineChange=true

Note: This example uses a HERE API Key to authenticate your request. For the available authentication options, see the Identity & Access Management Developer Guide.
