CAPABILITIES

What the Points of Interest API delivers

Category-based POI search

Search for places by business category — fuel stations, restaurants, hospitals, logistics hubs, retail chains, and hundreds of other types. Returns ranked results within a defined radius or geographic boundary.

Radius and geofence search

Find POIs within a specific distance from any coordinate, or within a custom polygon boundary. Useful for service area discovery, competitor mapping, and location-based recommendations.

Rich business information

Each POI result includes structured metadata — business name, address, phone number, website, opening hours, ratings, and photos where available. Ready to display in apps without additional data enrichment.

Custom POI datasets

Add your own points of interest — depots, service locations, partner sites, or custom assets — and query them alongside HERE's global POI database. Combine internal and external location data in a single API response.

Global database with local accuracy

Hundreds of millions of POIs across 190+ countries. Data is updated frequently and validated at a local level — not just scraped and aggregated. Covers urban and rural areas across North America, Europe, and globally.

REST API · JS SDK · easy integration

Available as a REST API with JSON responses and as a JavaScript SDK for browser-based applications. Consistent response format across all query types — straightforward to integrate into mapping apps, logistics platforms, and location-based services.
