The HERE HERE Routing API v7 is a web service API that offers easy and fast routing for several regions in the world.

The HERE Routing API v7 provides the following capabilities:

• Calculate a route for a set of waypoints
• Update a previously calculated route
• Calculate an area that can be reached by travelling a given distance or time
• Calculate an area that can be reached by travelling a given distance, time or by using a given amount of fuel/energy
• Calculate a matrix of routes between many start points and destinations

The following static routing attributes are supported in all HERE digital map formats and are available in the HERE Routing API v7:

• form of way (such as roundabouts, ramps, service roads)
• road numbers
• direction of traffic flow (such as one-way, two-way, divided highway)
• road condition
• network classifications
• blocked passages
• special restrictions
• restricted maneuvers
• toll roads
• speed categories
• built-up areas
• carpool lanes (high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes)
• seasonal closures

The map contains information about time dependent restrictions. When a restriction is enforced during specific periods (for instance, during some hours of the day, or on some specific days, or a combination of the two), the restriction is avoided only when needed given that a departure time was specified in the request.

In addition, maps can be enhanced with

• pedestrian information
  • stairs
  • elevators
  • pathways through parks, plazas, buildings, bridges, and tunnels

• truck attributes information

  • legal restrictions for trucks (no trucks allowed, turn restrictions for trucks)
  • physical restrictions for trucks (weight, height, width and length)
  • hazmat restrictions for trucks (trucks with hazardous materials forbidden, trucks with explosive and flammable materials forbidden, trucks with materials that are harmful to water forbidden)
