How to construct a request in HERE Waypoints Sequence API v8

The basic elements of a request to the HERE Waypoints Sequence API v8 are:

• Start point
• Several destination points
• Routing mode

You can include a destination for sequence optimization. You must provide a destination for pickup along route. If the request doesn't contain a destination, one of the destination points you provide is chosen. Each point defining the start, a destination or the end consists of WaypointId, latitude and longitude in the WGS 84 system. For more information about the format, see the HERE Waypoints Sequence API v8 API Reference.

Using the parameter improvefor, you can define if to minimize the travel time or travel distance .

The mode parameter indicates whether the result is suitable for a car or a truck and whether to use traffic information when processing the request. In addition, mode defines whether individual interconnections are fastest or shortest. This setting is important for interaction with the routing APIs. Using fastest is recommended for most use cases. Be sure to provide a time for the departure if you enable traffic.

For authentication, one of the following parameters is mandatory:

• apiKey
• bearer token
• LEGACY: app_id and app_code combination

The table below lists the basic request elements with examples. Additionally, a request may contain more resource-specific parameters, such as parameters for truck specification. For more information about resource-specific parameters, see the HERE Waypoints Sequence API v8 API Reference.
