App code

App code credentials are now deprecated and you cannot create new app codes, you can only use existing ones. HERE recommends use of API Keys or OAuth 2.0 Tokens for improved security. APP CODE credentials are the least secure of the authentication credential types. Existing accounts using APP CODE credentials will continue to be supported. However, we encourage you to start transitioning to the new authentication types to take advantage of improved security.

How to use an app code

The following example demonstrates authentication with app code credentials using the app_id/app_code parameters in the request URL.
