About this tool
This tool is a web-based point-of-interest discovery utility built on top of Leaflet and the HERE Discover API.
It allows a user to:
• Dynamically explore POIs/POS within the current map viewport using the HERE Discover API.
• Select POI categories (e.g., restaurants, pharmacies, shops, services) through a clean, single-selection dropdown interface.
• Automatically refresh the POI results whenever the map is moved or zoomed, ensuring that the data always reflects the currently visible area.
• Visualize all returned POIs as interactive Placematic markers on a HERE-based Leaflet map, complete with tooltips showing the POI name.
• Instantly inspect the full API interaction, including:
• The exact CURL request sent to HERE Discover,
• The complete JSON response, formatted and syntax-highlighted for readability.
• Copy or download both the request and the response for debugging, documentation, or integration into other services.
This tool is designed as a developer-friendly helper for testing, exploring, and integrating the HERE Search & Discover stack. It provides immediate visual and data feedback, making it ideal for:
• API prototyping
• Location intelligence workflows
• GIS analysis
• QA testing
• Developer onboarding
• Demonstrating how HERE Discover behaves in real time with live bounding-box queries
Built for modern web workflows inside the Placematic environment, the tool offers an efficient and intuitive way to interact with HERE’s global POI ecosystem, enabling developers to rapidly test categories, validate data, and visualize search results directly on a map.
