How to directly access aerial view tiles with Quadkey ?

Question

Hello everyone,

So i've been following the documentation here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/directly-accessing-the-bing-maps-tiles

I understood the quadkeys system and manage to display a reactive map, but i'm wondering if there is a way to display different ImagerySet (as mentionned here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/imagery/get-a-static-map).

I guess i'm just misunderstanding something but i did not manage to do it.

How to directly access aerial view (or other ImagerySet) tiles with Quadkey ?

Thank you for your time, i hope i was clear :)

Hi Merwann,

The second link is causing the confusion as the static Map API has nothing to do with the quad key. Look at the topic linked in the directly accessing tiles to see the Metadata call https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/imagery/get-imagery-metadata and in this call you ask for the URL end point of the imagery type you want to use (See the variable ImagerySet")

Sincerely,
