HERE Network Positioning API v2
here · Location
Positioning API accepts requests with radio network measurements and replies with corresponding location estimate. For more details and examples, see [Developer's Guide](https://developer.here.com/documentation/positioning). Cellular measurements are given in terms defined in 3GPP and 3GGP2 specifications, see the corresponsing documentation at http://www.3gpp.org. Breaking changes from v1: - JSON fields `altaccuracy`, `baselat`, `baselng`, `cellparams`, `pilotpower`, `pnoffset`, `powrx`,
Authentication
No authentication requiredFree to use with no key needed.
