I am building a transit tracker app and I would like to display a picture of the bus stop in my app.
Looking at the streetside image returned by the API it's very low quality.
I am not really interesting in building a panorama or seeing adjacent images. I just need a single image. How can I get a higher resolution image?
And also what are all the parameters I can use with the streetside API end point? Can I use a resolution parameter?
This article doesn't seem to mention any except the coordinates and API key?

Hello R_850
Thanks for reaching out on this forum. Please check the documentation on mapSize
mapSize ms Optional.
The width and height in pixels of the static map output.
A string that contains a width and a height separated by a comma. The width must be between 80 and 2000 pixels and the height must be between 80 and 1500 pixels.
The default map size for static maps is 350 pixels by 350 pixels.
For streetside maps, the maximum size is limited to 400 pixels by 400 pixels when using a basic account key. If a larger size is needed, you will need an enterprise key.
Example: mapSize=100,400
In this URL, you can specify the mapVersion (e.g. v1), latitude, longitude, and heading (direction of the camera) of the location you want to view. You can also include a Bing Maps API key in the URL to authenticate your API request.
To adjust the resolution of the image, you can adjust the mapSize parameter to the desired width and height in pixels. For example, setting mapSize=1280,1280 will give you a 1280 x 1280 pixel image, which is four times the size of the default image.
You should also be aware of the usage and pricing limits for the Bing Maps service, which may be affected by your use of high-resolution images.

@LeelaRajeshSayana-MSFT Hi!
Is there any limitations related to image size for enterprise key?
e,g: **mapSize=1200,1800, mapSize=3000,3000
where can I check this info?**
The maximum size is 2000x1500 for static imagery as per the documentation. This applies to all key types.
@rbrundritt Thanks!
You will have to look at alternate data providers for imagery. Some transit authorities make the kind of imagery you are asking for available. https://www.mapillary.com/ might also be an option.
Hi @noname ,
I can confirm that you are correct that Enterprise keys have access to higher resolution results than Basic keys but that is for more typical imagery, not Streetside. I reached out to our Imagery team, and they have a specific answer for you, based on the unique nature of Streetside tiles:
It sounds to me like the poster is asking more about zoom level in the image. For streetside, we have a fieldOfView parameter that specifies how wide of a view the image should have (in degrees)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/imagery/get-a-static-map
| Parameter | Alias | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|---|
| fieldOfView | fov | Optional, for Streetside. Specifies the horizontal field of view in degrees that should be shown in the image. It’s a way of specifying the zoom level of the image. Either 'fieldOfView' or 'zoomLevel' should be specified in the request, not both. | An integer between 15 and 120. Example: fieldOfView=90 |
If you make that fov smaller, it will show less of the image, but zoom in so the resulting image should be more detailed.
So, specifically in the specific case of Streetside, you really need to take the directionality of the ask into account.
Sincerely, IoTGirl
