HERE No longer issuing App Codes #1

Closed clibassi closed 4 years ago

clibassi commented 4 years ago

Hi there -

I've been trying to use geocodehere - it seems like a great tool. But I see that the syntax requires an app code and an app id, but when I registered, I only received an app id and an API key, and some googling turns up that it seems like HERE has deprecated app codes except for a few mobile application uses. Is there any way to still use the command?

Hi,

I haven't used geocodehere in 2 years. But just now I signed up again for the "Freemium" on here: https://developer.here.com/pricing, got an appid and an appcode ran the code from the geocodehere helpfile without any problems. I think sometimes they call the "app code" "app key" could that be a simple confusion?

Here's what I see. Let me know if this still doesn't work for you grafik

Really appreciate your quick reply. My dashboard looks different - I think maybe because of when we registered our accounts. I am missing the JS Rest portion. Here's what mine looks like:

app_key

app_key2

When I put in the API key in the place of the app code and run both my own code and the sample code from the help file I get a server connect error that seems to be about the credentials:

app_key4

app_key5

Yep. Sorry, I overlooked that.

I fixed this and updated the code on github. Try downloading the new ado-file and run it with specifying your appkey(...) as specified in the new helpfile. Let me know if there's anythin still not working.

This is perfect and working super well - thank you so much!
