## Prerequisites

Before you can install `HERE Location Services for Python`, run its test-suite, or use the example notebooks to make sure you meet the following prerequisites:

- A Python installation, 3.6+ recommended, with the `pip` command available to install dependencies.
- In order to use Location services APIs, authentication is required. 
  There are two ways to authenticate:
  - Authentication using an API key: 
    - For API key-based authentication you will need a HERE developer account, freely available under [HERE Developer Portal](https://developer.here.com).
    - An [API key](https://developer.here.com/documentation/identity-access-management/dev_guide/topics/dev-apikey.html) from the [HERE Developer Portal](https://developer.here.com), in an environment variable named `LS_API_KEY` which you can set like this (with a valid value, of course):
      ```bash
      $ export LS_API_KEY="MY-LS-API-KEY"
      ```
  - OAuth token-based authentication:
    - For OAuth token authentication you will need an account on the HERE Platform.
      To get more details on the HERE Platform account please check our documentation [Get a HERE account](https://developer.here.com/documentation/identity-access-management/dev_guide/topics/obtain-user-credentials.html).
    Once you have the account follow the below steps to get credentials:
    - Go to [HERE Platform Applications and Keys](https://platform.here.com/profile/apps-and-keys) and register a new app.
    - Create a key for the app and download the generated `credentials. properties` file.

    The HERE platform generated app credentials should look similar to the example below:
    ```
    here.user.id = <example_here>
    here.client.id = <example_here>
    here.access.key.id = <example_here>
    here.access.key.secret = <example_here>
    here.token.endpoint.url = <example_here>
    ```
    You can provide your credentials using any of the following methods:
    - Default credentials
    - Environment variables
    - Credentials file

    #### Default credentials
    Place the credentials file into

    For Linux/MacOS: `$HOME/.here/credentials.properties`

    For Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.here\credentials.properties`
    Code snippet to instantiate LS object:
    ```python
    from here_location_services import LS
    
    # platform credentials will be picked from the default credentials file's location mentioned above
    # and api_key should not be set in env variable LS_API_KEY.
    ls = LS()
    ```

    #### Environment Variables
    You can override default credentials by assigning values to the following environment variables:
    ```
    HERE_USER_ID
    HERE_CLIENT_ID
    HERE_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    HERE_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET
    HERE_TOKEN_ENDPOINT_URL
    ```
    Code snippet to instantiate LS object:
    ```python
    from here_location_services import LS
    from here_location_services import PlatformCredentials
   
    ls = LS(platform_credentials=PlatformCredentials.from_env()) 
    ```
    #### Credentials File
    You can specify any credentials file as an alternative to that found in `~/.here/credentials.properties`. An error is generated if there is no file present at the path, or if the file is not properly formatted.
    Code snippet to instantiate LS object:
    ```python
    from here_location_services import LS
    from here_location_services import PlatformCredentials
    
    platform_credentials = PlatformCredentials.from_credentials_file("<Path_to_file>")
    ls = LS(platform_credentials=platform_credentials) 
    ```

## Hello World Example
The following are tiny "Hello World" like examples that you can run to have a successful first XYZ experience right after installation!

#### Using API key
```python
import json
import os

from here_location_services import LS


LS_API_KEY = os.environ.get("LS_API_KEY")  # Get API KEY from environment.
ls = LS(api_key=LS_API_KEY)

address = "Invalidenstr 116, 10115 Berlin, Germany"
geo = ls.geocode(query=address)
print(json.dumps(geo.to_geojson(), indent=2, sort_keys=True))
```
#### Using OAuth token
```python
import json

from here_location_services import LS
from here_location_services import PlatformCredentials

credentials = PlatformCredentials.from_default()
ls = LS(platform_credentials=credentials)

address = "Invalidenstr 116, 10115 Berlin, Germany"
geo = ls.geocode(query=address)
print(json.dumps(geo.to_geojson(), indent=2, sort_keys=True))
```
