Bing Maps Locations API resolves addresses with Medium confidence

Question

Hello,

We're having a very weird problem. We've been using Bing API for a couple of years now and it worked great for us. However, recently we started having issues where Bing API would resolve and address with Medium confidence where as it would resolve the same address easily with High confidence many time in the past. For example, query:

http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?countryRegion=USA&adminDistrict&locality=Cincinnati&postalCode=45240&addressLine=1718 Lockbourne Dr&maxResults=3&key={removed}

would return a "Medium" inaccurate result 9 out of 10 times today (if tested via Talend API tester or using our software).

Again, it was working fine until today. All of the sudden most of Bing API REST Locations API return "Medium" confidence addresses.

Any idea what can be going on here?

Thank you,
Rad G

Looking at another forum post, it looks like there might have been a deployment that caused some issues with the geocoder, and it has since been rolled back. Are you still seeing the issue?
