Introduction to the HERE Deeplinking API

The HERE Deeplinking API is a URL scheme that allows locations and routes to be shared between users and applications. It transparently handles sharing across different clients, be it desktop web or the HERE WeGo Mobile App.

The HERE Deeplinking API provides solutions for the following high-level use cases:

• Share a location as a set of geographic coordinates.
• Share a place or address as a reference to a point of interest, such as a restaurant or museum.
• Share a route or itinerary as directions.

You can trigger sharing on the web or a native HERE Deeplinking API application. A web browser or on a mobile device with a HERE Deeplinking API application installed can receive and open the shared URL.

To share an object, formulate a URL request that combines the URL and a set of parameters to specify details such as map coordinates, map types, zoom level, location labels, routing options, and point of interest data.

Use the HERE Deeplinking API wherever you want to enhance your user experience or increase user engagement by providing an interactive map via HERE Deeplinking API applications. For example:

• You are a hotel owner and want to embed a routing link to your hotel in the confirmation E-mail you send your guests, or
• You are a mobile app developer and want your users to be able to share a location accessible on any platform.

In addition, as a customer of HERE WeGo Pro:

• Activate HERE WeGo Pro functionality in the HERE WeGo Mobile app.
• Set up truck dimensions to ensure safe truck routing.
• Send truck routes with waypoints and truck dimensions to your drivers.

The HERE Deeplinking API allows you to do this quickly and easily. A deeplink can be as simple as a combination of latitude and longitude, or as complicated as a detailed series of waypoints. It allows you to be flexible in sharing places and routes to your users.
