Bing map Census issue

Question

Hi,

We have used below query to get the census data but getting error.

Query :

https://spatial.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/data/755aa60032b24cb1bfb54e8a6d59c229/USCensus2010_States/States?$select=*,__Distance&$top=250&$inlinecount=allpages&key=Our Bing map Key&$format=json&jsonp=Microsoft_Maps_Network_QueryAPI_1&spatialFilter=bbox(-90,-180,90,180)

Error:

Microsoft_Maps_Network_QueryAPI_1({"error":{"code":"InternalServerError","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Your request could not be completed because there was a problem with the service."}}})

Can anyone faced same issue and have solution for it.

Thanks!

Doing some testing, it seems it doesn't like the size of your bounding box. Looks like the bounding box doesn't like the lat/lon values representing a full globe. A slight modification to this seems to work. I used bbox(-89.99999,-180,90,179.999999)

Also note, you likely don't want to include _Distance in the query since this wouldn't be very useful and would only max the request slightly slower.
