  1. HERE EV Charge Points API v3

Get started with HERE EV Charge Points API v3

Prerequisites

To start using HERE EV Charge Points API v3:

  1. Sign a contract with HERE. If you aren't a HERE customer yet, contact us.
  2. Get an organization set up by a HERE Account Executive on the HERE platform.
  3. As the organization's representative, receive an invitation to the HERE platform organization via email.
  4. Accept the invitation.

If you are not already a HERE customer, contact us.

Completing these steps adds the license to use the HERE EV Charge Points API v3 to your organization.

Ensure that you have OLP CLI, cURL and jq installed to your Linux environment.

Application credentials

HERE EV Charge Points API v3 uses OAuth2 for authentication. To get the credentials, go to the HERE platform -> Access Manager and create a new app. For detailed instructions on getting credentials, see Access keys and OAuth tokens.

📘

Note

To create credentials, you must have the organization's admin role with management rights enabled for all apps and resources.

Bearer token using OLP CLI

Once you have obtained the credentials for an application, you can get the bearer token. When using the OLP CLI run this command to store the token to an environment variable ACCESS_TOKEN for later use.

export ACCESS_TOKEN=$(olp api token get --quiet)

To use your OAuth2 credentials with the OLP CLI, read the Set your credentials topic.

Refer to the detailed instructions on how to obtain the token in the production use.

📘

Note

Use the same credentials to call both the HERE EV Charge Points API v3 and the HERE Geocoding and Search API v7.
