User Story

The user wants to determine the WGS-84 compliant coordinates defined by the GSM information in the POST body.

Request

The code block below demonstrates a POST request to define the geocoordinates as specified by the GSM information in the POST body.

https://pos.ls.hereapi.com/positioning/v1/locate?apiKey={YOUR_API_KEY}

You need to set request content type in the HTTP headers:

Content-Type: application/json

This POST request requires the following POST body.

{
  "gsm": [{
    "mcc": 262,
    "mnc": 1,
    "lac": 5126,
    "cid": 16504,
    "nmr": [
       { "bsic": "6", "bcch": "82" },
       { "bsic": "7", "bcch": "85" },
       { "bsic": "12", "bcch": "93" },
       { "bsic": "13", "bcch": "88" },
       { "bsic": "19", "bcch": "88" }
    ]
  }]
}

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

Response

The response to the request contains:

• lat: WGS-84 compliant latitude coordinate
