OAuth tokens

Token credentials conform to the OAuth 2.0 industry standard protocol for bearer access tokens. HERE provides REST APIs to obtain these secure access tokens that your application can use for the purpose of authenticating requests to the HERE platform for up to 24 hours.

To use OAuth 2.0 tokens, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Register your application
• Step 2: Get a token
• Step 3: Use the token

Step 1: Register your application

1. If you don't already have a HERE account, see Get a HERE account.
2. Sign in to here-tech.skawa.fun.
3. Click your name, select Projects, and then your project from the list. Your project details and available application credentials are then displayed.
4. Select REST or HERE SDKs and click Generate App. When your application is created, its App ID is displayed.
5. Click Create Credentials to generate a maximum of two access keys for your application. The access key is created and displayed in a pop-up window. Download and securely store the access key secret. Also download the credentials.properties file as instructed.

Step 2: Get a token

For instructions on getting a token, see Code an OAuth 2.0 token request.

Step 3: Use the token

You have now successfully obtained an access bearer token to use in making REST requests to HERE APIs.

Include the token in the HTTP Authorization header of your REST requests as a bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer <token>
