Bing Maps Find a Location by Point API retirement

Bing Maps Find a Location by Point API is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Find a Location by Point API until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Find a Location by Point API until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps Find a Location by Point API will need to be updated to use Azure Maps Get Reverse Geocoding API by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type. For detailed migration guidance, see Migrate Bing Maps Find a Location by Point 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 URL template to get the location information associated with latitude and longitude coordinates.

When you make a request by using the following URL template, the response returns one or more Location resources that contain location information associated with the latitude and longitude coordinate values that you specify. Location information can be as specific as an address or more general such as the country or region. You can specify the type of location information you want to receive by setting the includeEntityTypes parameter in the URL. For example, you can specify to only receive information about the neighborhood that corresponds to the coordinates. For more information about the Location resource, see Location Data. You can also view the example URL and response values in the Examples section.

URL Template

Note

These templates support both HTTP and HTTPS protocols. To use this API, you must have a Bing Maps Key.

Get an address for a specified point (latitude and longitude).

http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/{point}?includeEntityTypes={entityTypes}&includeNeighborhood={includeNeighborhood}&include={includeValue}&key={BingMapsKey}

API Parameters

Note

See the Common Parameters and Types section for additional common parameters to use with these URLs.

Common parameters include:

Parameter values are not case-sensitive.

Parameters Alias Description Values
includeEntityTypes Optional. Specifies the entity types that you want to return in the response. Only the types you specify will be returned. If the point cannot be mapped to the entity types you specify, no location information is returned in the response. A comma separated list of entity types selected from the following options.

- Address
- Neighborhood
- PopulatedPlace
- Postcode1
- AdminDivision1
- AdminDivision2
- CountryRegion

These entity types are ordered from the most specific entity to the least specific entity. When entities of more than one entity type are found, only the most specific entity is returned. For example, if you specify Address and AdminDistrict1 as entity types and entities were found for both types, only the Address entity information is returned in the response. One exception to this rule is when both PopulatedPlace and Neighborhood entity types are specified and information is found for both. In this case, the information for both entity types is returned. Also, more than one Neighborhood may be returned because the area covered by two different neighborhoods can overlap.
point Required. The coordinates of the location that you want to reverse geocode. A point is specified by a latitude and a longitude. For more information, see the definition of Point in Location and Area Types. A point on the Earth specified by a latitude and longitude. For more information, see the definition of Point in Location and Area Types.

Example: 47.64054,-122.12934
includeNeighborhood inclnb Optional. Specifies to include the neighborhood in the response when it is available. One of the following values:

- 1: Include neighborhood information when available.
- 0 [default]: Do not include neighborhood information.
Example:
inclnb=1
include incl Optional. Specifies additional values to include. The only value for this parameter is ciso2. When you specify include=ciso2, the two-letter ISO country code is included for addresses in the response.

Example:

incl=ciso2
verboseplacenames vbpn Optional. Either true or false

- If false: "AdminDistrict" names will be in the officially abbreviated form (e.g.: “WA” for Washington state in USA).

-If true: "AdminDistrict" names will be in expanded form (e.g.: "Washington" instead of "WA" in the USA).		 Default value is false.

Response

One or more Location resources are returned in the response when you make a request using this URL template. For more information about the Location resource, see Location Data. For more information about the common response syntax for the Bing Maps REST Services, see Common Response Description. JSON and XML responses are provided for the URL example in the following section.

Note

The Location by Point API returns an additional intersection field in the address resource for all successful responses.

Intersection Resource

JSON XML Description
baseStreet BaseStreet Primary street for the location.
secondaryStreet1 SecondaryStreet1 The first intersecting street.
secondaryStreet2 SecondaryStreet2 If any, the second intersecting street.
intersectionType IntersectionType Type of intersection.
displayName DisplayName Complete name of the intersection.

This URL supports JSON (application/json) and XML (application/xml) response formats. A JSON response is provided by default unless you request XML output by setting the output (o) parameter. For more information, see Output Parameters.
