The HERE Geofencing API can geofence asset positions against HERE Map objects or custom fence objects

Documentation GitHub OpenAPI

Operations 6

Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

GET /v8/geofence Check which geofences contain a point · Simple and fast search for geometries on HERE Map Content layers, extensible… #

Ask an LLM

“Is a given location inside any of my geofence polygons?”

“Can I search both custom layers and core map layers around a point?”

Tell an agent

Check which geometries in layers {layers} contain point {point}.

Find geofences in {layers} around {point} matching filter {filter}.

POST /v8/geofence Check geofences for many asset positions · Simple and fast search for geometries on HERE Map Content layers, extensible… #

Ask an LLM

“How do I check many vehicle positions against geofences in one request?”

“Can I send asset points in the body for a geofence search?”

Tell an agent

Post a batch of asset positions {points} in the request body and check them against geofences within {spatial}.

Run a bulk geofence check for asset points {points} in map {map_name}.

POST /v8/geofence/upload Upload geofence geometries from WKT or a shapefile · Import Geometries in a WKT or Shape File #

Ask an LLM

“How do I upload my own geofence polygons?”

“Can one layer mix polygons and points?”

Tell an agent

Upload the WKT file {file} as geofence layer {layer_id}.

Import geometries {file} into layer {layer_id} and grant access to apps {granted_app_ids}.

POST /v8/geofence/modify Append, update or delete geometries in a layer · Modify Geometries in Existing Layers #

Ask an LLM

“Can I add new shapes to an existing geofence layer?”

“How long until modified geometries become available?”

Tell an agent

Apply {action} to layer {layer_id} with geometries from {file}.

Append the geometries in {file} to existing layer {layer_id} using action {action}.

GET /v8/geofence/delete Delete geofence layers or a whole map · Delete some of my Geometry Layers. #

Ask an LLM

“How do I delete a geofence layer I uploaded?”

“Can readonly layers be deleted individually?”

Tell an agent destructive · confirm first

Delete geofence layers {layer_id}.

Delete the whole map {layer_id} including all its layers.

GET /v8/geofence/attributes Read the attributes of my geofence geometries · Simple and fast access to your custom geofence attributes #

Ask an LLM

“Can I list the custom attributes stored on my geofence shapes?”

“Is there a way to page through geometry attributes of a large layer?”

Tell an agent

Get the attributes of geometries in layers {layers}.

List geometry attributes in {layers} for tiles {area}, {count} at a time.
