Subscribe to Resources

You can select and inspect a listing to get a subscription to resources. Each listing contains information about data, suggested use, and other resources, if available.

There are three types of subscription options:

• Customized - This is based on terms that are negotiated offline.

• Evaluation - These terms and conditions are available for you to self-accept and subscribe to from the listing, as there is no subscription flow. This type of subscription allows you to read data with no subscription fee.

• Commercial - These terms and conditions help providers create their listings with different pricings for Marketplace, and allow consumers to sign up with no human interaction so that the Marketplace can generate usage and/or line-items on the consumer's bill.

There are four types of resources (data) for a subscription:

• Catalog - A catalog is a collection of data that is logically managed as a single set. Catalogs contain layers that represent different types of data and that can be overlaid spatially to construct a complete digital map. For example, a catalog may contain a map that includes layers for road attributes, topology, and signs. After you have executed a licensing agreement with a Marketplace provider and subscribed to data, you can access the data in the catalog using the Data Client Library.
• Neutral Server - The HERE platform stores and distributes Neutral Server-based data in the form of containers. A Neutral Server container is a set of data, provided by the Marketplace provider, and available to the Marketplace consumer in the form of listings through the platform. As a Marketplace consumer, you can subscribe and access Neutral Server-based listings by requesting consent from the data subject (vehicle driver). Subscriptions are handled in the Marketplace environment, while the consent management feature facilitates granting consents for data usage. After you have executed a licensing agreement with a Marketplace provider and subscribed to Neutral Server data, you can access Neutral Server container data.
• External Service - Marketplace providers onboarded to the Marketplace Proxy solution can offer their external APIs and list their services for sale on the Marketplace using the usual listing creation process. As a Marketplace consumer, you can subscribe to the external services listing and access API onboarded by the Marketplace provider.
• Download Center - As a Marketplace consumer, you can browse, discover, and subscribe to the Download Center listings to download fresh and rich location data prepared for you by HERE. This data is available on request and upon offline contract negotiations.
