Correct query spelling mistakes

This tutorial demonstrates how the API corrects query spelling mistakes.

Procedure

A user in New Jersey searching for the New York Giants football stadium on his cellphone using an app, omits the letter "r", misspelling this stadium as "New Yok Gia" in the query:

GET https://autosuggest.search.hereapi.com/v1
    /autosuggest
    ?at=40.8870025,-74.0459472
    &q=New+Yok+Gia
    &limit=2
    &apiKey={YOUR_API_KEY}

The following parameters are used:

• at - Specify the center of the search context expressed as coordinates.
• q - Enter a free-text query.
• limit - Maximum number of results to be returned.
• apiKey - Your API key.

The API includes the correct location for "New York Giants" in the items:
