Resources endpoint change and discontinuation of support for car accounts

HERE API users of type "car" will experience changes to a specific endpoint. HERE is making this change to improve service delivery for all users and to provide the capabilities needed for future HERE platform services.

Beginning Jun 1, 2026, HERE platform users of type "car" will no longer be able to call the GET /authorization/v1.1/resourcesendpoint and receive a successful response. Users of "car" accounts will instead receive a 400 "BadRequest" error response when calling this endpoint.

If users of “car” accounts need to retrieve offline subscription resources, they should now request that information from the GET /authorization/v1.1/realm/externalResources endpoint.

HERE Geofencing API v8

Planned maintenance window for May 21, 2026

We will be performing a scheduled database maintenance for the Geofencing Service from 2026-05-21 12:00 UTC to 2026-05-22 12:00 UTC as part of a required upgrade of our infrastructure. Some service degradation may occur during this window.

What to expect during the maintenance window

Data uploads / updates
During the update, we recommended that you don’t perform uploads or updates of geofences. Uploads will not be fully processed during the maintenance window. Newly uploaded data may temporarily appear or disappear depending on the availability of regional infrastructure.

All uploaded or updated data will be reliably available after the update is fully complete.

Read access
Read operations will remain available. However, customers may experience temporary errors or increased latency during the maintenance window.
