Send user actions

This tutorial demonstrates how a navigation application can use HERE Geocoding and Search API v7 to retrieve relevant location records and share end-user interactions via the /signals endpoint.

The application uses the following endpoints:

/autosuggest and /discover – to retrieve results for textual queries.
/browse – to find nearby places within specific categories.
/lookup – to retrieve location records previously bookmarked by end-users.

Tools Used

For this tutorial, we use:

curl – to send HTTP requests.
jq – to parse JSON responses.

These tools are typically used in terminal environments.

We assume a Unix shell-like syntax and that the variable API_KEY contains a valid HERE api key.

Tutorial Scope

This tutorial covers examples of /signals calls triggered for responses from various endpoints:

For a general overview of the /signals endpoint, see Signals.

Note
The /signals endpoint is released as RESTRICTED. See the privilege section in the feature maturity topic for more information.
