HERE Launches HERE XYZ

By T_mackinnon @tedmackinnon

HERE XYZ is included as part of the market-leading HERE Freemium developer plan, offering users generous entitlements for data transfer and database storage and seamless integration of HERE Location Services APIs such as geocoding, routing, search and more to build full-featured, location-aware applications. Developers can invoke the HERE XYZ Hub API directly or via the HERE Command Line Interface (HERE CLI). Non-developers can use the HERE XYZ Studio to invoke the same HERE XYZ Hub API but using an intuitive web application.

For Interline Technologies, a San Francisco-based startup that improves transportation networks digitally, the HERE XYZ Hub API is accessed via a custom "connector" that enables push updates for live datasets.

"HERE XYZ is a great addition to Interline's toolkit for our team and for our users," says Drew Dara-Abrams, Principal at Interline Technologies. "The command-line interface has become part of our regular workflows for visualizing and inspecting our work-in-progress and other miscellaneous geodata. HERE XYZ Connectors are opening even more interesting possibilities for our production systems and real-time data updates. They're a powerful hybrid of managed-cloud services, open source components, and common data formats like GeoJSON and GeoJSONL."

HERE XYZ will continue to evolve in response to developer and user feedback, GitHub pull requests for the HERE CLI and QGIS plug-in, and needs articulated by leading providers of public datasets.
