# HERE Maps Management Skill

Monitor and manage HERE Maps location services platform.

## MANDATORY: Discovery-First Pattern

**Always discover projects and API keys before querying usage or service health.**

### Phase 1: Discovery

```bash
#!/bin/bash
HERE_API="https://fleet.ls.hereapi.com/2"
AUTH="apiKey=${HERE_API_KEY}"

echo "=== Account Projects ==="
curl -s "https://account.api.here.com/authorization/v1.1/projects" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${HERE_OAUTH_TOKEN}" | \
  jq -r '.[] | "\(.projectName) | ID: \(.projectId) | Status: \(.status)"' 2>/dev/null || echo "Check projects via HERE Platform Portal"

echo ""
echo "=== Service Endpoints Test ==="
echo "Geocoding:"
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "Status: %{http_code}\n" \
  "https://geocode.search.hereapi.com/v1/geocode?q=test&$AUTH"
echo "Routing:"
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "Status: %{http_code}\n" \
  "https://router.hereapi.com/v8/routes?transportMode=car&origin=52.5,13.4&destination=52.5,13.5&$AUTH"
echo "Search:"
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "Status: %{http_code}\n" \
  "https://discover.search.hereapi.com/v1/discover?at=52.5,13.4&q=restaurant&$AUTH"
echo "Map Tiles:"
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "Status: %{http_code}\n" \
  "https://maps.hereapi.com/v3/base/mc/12/2200/1343/png?style=explore.day&$AUTH"

echo ""
echo "=== API Key Info ==="
curl -s "https://account.api.here.com/authorization/v1.1/apikeys" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${HERE_OAUTH_TOKEN}" | \
  jq -r '.items[] | "\(.id) | Created: \(.createdTime) | Enabled: \(.enabled)"' 2>/dev/null || echo "API key management requires OAuth token"
```

**Phase 1 outputs:** Projects, service health, API keys

### Phase 2: Analysis

```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Usage Statistics ==="
curl -s "https://tracking.api.here.com/v2/usage" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${HERE_OAUTH_TOKEN}" 2>/dev/null | \
  jq -r '.[] | "\(.service): \(.count) requests"' || echo "Usage stats require portal access"

echo ""
echo "=== Geocoding Quality Check ==="
curl -s "https://geocode.search.hereapi.com/v1/geocode?q=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave+Washington+DC&$AUTH" | \
  jq -r '.items[0] | "Match: \(.title)\nScore: \(.scoring.queryScore)\nType: \(.resultType)\nPosition: \(.position.lat),\(.position.lng)"'

echo ""
echo "=== Routing Health Check ==="
curl -s "https://router.hereapi.com/v8/routes?transportMode=car&origin=52.5308,13.3847&destination=48.8566,2.3522&return=summary&$AUTH" | \
  jq -r '.routes[0].sections[0].summary | "Distance: \(.length/1000)km\nDuration: \(.duration/60)min\nBaseDuration: \(.baseDuration/60)min"'

echo ""
echo "=== Rate Limit Headers ==="
curl -s -I "https://geocode.search.hereapi.com/v1/geocode?q=test&$AUTH" | \
  grep -i "x-rate-limit\|x-ratelimit" || echo "Rate limit info not in headers"
```

## Output Format

```
HERE MAPS STATUS
================
Projects: {count}
Services: Geocoding={status} Routing={status} Search={status} Tiles={status}
API Keys: {count} ({enabled}/{total} enabled)
Usage (period): {total_requests} requests
Rate Limits: {remaining}/{limit}
Issues: {list_of_warnings}
```

## Anti-Hallucination Rules

1. **NEVER assume resource names** — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
2. **NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions** — verify against the service documentation or `--help` output.
3. **NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions** — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
4. **ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain** — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
5. **ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully** — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.

## Counter-Rationalizations

| Shortcut | Counter | Why |
|----------|---------|-----|
| "I'll skip discovery and check known resources" | Always run Phase 1 discovery first | Resource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors |
| "The user only asked for a quick check" | Follow the full discovery → analysis flow | Quick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures |
| "Default configuration is probably fine" | Audit configuration explicitly | Defaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled |
| "Metrics aren't needed for this" | Always check relevant metrics when available | API/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues |
| "I don't have access to that" | Try the command and report the actual error | Assumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative |

## Common Pitfalls

- **API key vs OAuth**: Simple API key for most services; OAuth 2.0 for management APIs
- **Freemium limits**: 250K transactions/month free — monitor to avoid overage
- **HERE vs legacy Nokia**: Use hereapi.com endpoints — legacy.here.com is deprecated
- **Rate limits**: Vary by plan — check response headers for current limits
