Here route API - Calculating toll cost

Question

I am trying to calculate the toll cost between two points in Australia.

Here is the sample URL i am using at the moment:

http://tce.cit.api.here.com/1/tollcost.json?region=AUS&release=2015Q1&start_ts=now&vspec=3%3B0%3B0%3B2%3B0%3B0%3B5%3B340%3B0%3B7500%3B7500%3B0%3B0%3B0%3B1%3B4%3B1%3B0&route=1353326419097748185%3B1353396779235213606&app_id=DemoAppId01082013GAL&app_code=AJKnXv84fjrb0KIHawS0Tg

The response i get back is:

{
    "errors": [
        "Error id: fc4bc014-a17a-4efb-a346-4fad9d01a0ef",
        "A technical error occurred while processing the toll cost. Please contact TCS."
    ],
    "warnings": [
        "The combination \"link id,remaining time\" for element number \"1\" is invalid. The automatic datetime filtering will be disabled."
    ],
    "countries": [],
    "onError": true
}

Not sure if the issue is my linkId's, region, map release, or something entirely different.

I'm not finding a lot of useful documentation or feedback for this, so some help would be much appreciated :)

edit:

We ended up building our own solution, though it only supports QLD & NSW so far. Might have to licence it out some day ;)

Answer 1

The documentation example have the version which are not supported now, HERE will update its documentation and regrets the inconvenience.

Answer 2

The link ID 1353326419097748185 is not a valid link ID. Please use the link IDs provided in the response of the HERE router.

You don't have to work with link IDs, you can also provide the start/destination coordinates, so that the toll cost service computes the route.

Examples: https://tcs.ext.here.com/examples/v3/route_toll_cost Search for TCE, the 3rd example computes the route and adds the toll cost.

Answer 3

I implemented the map toll API for Australia and had issues too. I created a support ticket and the response was that Australia toll calculations are not covered yet.
