Note

Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Data Source Management API retirement

Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Data Source Management API is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Data Source Management API until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Data Source Management API until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Data Source Management API will need to be updated to use an alternative, such as an Azure-based solution, by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type. For detailed migration guidance, see Migrate Bing Maps Data Source Management and Query API.

Azure Maps is Microsoft's next-generation maps and geospatial services for developers. Azure Maps has many of the same features as Bing Maps for Enterprise, and more. To get started with Azure Maps, create a free Azure subscription and an Azure Maps account. For more information about azure Maps, see Azure Maps Documentation. For migration guidance, see Bing Maps Migration Overview.

Use the following URLs to get information about one or more data sources.

You can view the query URL, master key, and query key for all data sources associated with a Bing Maps Account on Bing Maps Account Center. For more information, see Getting Data Source Information.

  • JSON (application/json)

Note

You cannot request JSON format for your response when you request data source metadata.

The response to the URLs that get information about one or more data sources that belong to a Bing Maps Account is an Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) service document. The AtomPub service document contains the data source information that you requested, that can be use to publish and edit web resources. For specific information about the JSON response format, see the OData JSON Service Document section of this document.

The response to the URL that gets metadata for a data source is an OData Service Metadata Document. This document describes the entity types and properties for that data source by using the Entity Data Model and the Conceptual Schema Data Language (CSDL). For more information, see Service Metadata Document section of the Open Data Protocol.
