Nokia HERE maps: Get a list of all places-categories

I need a list of all Categories used by places in nokia HERE maps.

From the documentation I have found these,

eat-drink,
going-out,
sights-museums,
transport,
accommodation,
shopping,
leisure-outdoor,
administrative-areas-buildings,
natural-geographical

But the places returned by RESTful api have much more categories, some of the Categories I found are these, restaurant, theatre-music-culture, cinema, shop, shopping, accommodation, sights-museums, transport, museum, landmark-attraction, snacks-fast-food, hotel, food-drink, kiosk-convenience-store, eat-drink, hostel, recreation, bar-pub, hardware-house-garden-shop, coffee-tea, clothing-accessories-shop, bookshop, dance-night-club, department-store, going-out, leisure-outdoor, administrative-areas-buildings, natural-geographical which are not mentioned anywhere in the documentation.

Where do I get a list of all such categories?

A list of categories can be obtained using the categories endpoint.

Example: http://places.cit.api.here.com/places/v1/categories/places...

See the Places API reference - particularly the resources section for more details. You should also bear in mind the following:

The category graph may change at any point in the future and may be different depending on the location of the request. Only the subset of fixed categories can be used as filters. These categories are guaranteed not to be removed in future releases. At the moment, the following fixed categories are defined:

  • eat-drink
  • going-out
  • sights-museums
  • transport
  • accommodation
  • shopping
  • leisure-outdoor
  • administrative-areas-buildings
  • natural-geographical
