How to create an APP ID, API KEY, and Token credentials on HERE's Platform

This article aims to enumerate the necessary steps to create App_ids, API KEY, and Oauth “Token” credentials. These credentials are necessary to give the first steps on HERE Platform, as they are used to access Location Services endpoints such as Geocoding, Routing, etc.

After logging into an account, one should access the “Launcher Menu” at the top right and hit “Access Manager” as depicted below (image 01):

At the “Apps” tab there’s a “Register new app” button to create new app_ids (Image 02).

Due to issues still being troubleshot, projects should not be associated with app_ids. One should keep the field "Default Access to a Project" as No Project (image 03).
