Place results

A place result represents a point of interest: A point feature with a name, a position, an address and a list of categories defining the functionality characterizing the point. A place can be as various as a restaurant, an EV charging station, an airport, a stadium, etc.

HERE Geocoding and Search place results can be identified through the place value of the resultType response element.

The sub-type field categories contains a list of IDs referencing the different functionality of the location. For restaurant results, the sub-type foodTypes contains a list of IDs for the cuisines that the restaurant offers.
