Data Source Management API
Use the Data Source Management API to create and manage data sources that store spatial entity data for a user-defined entity type. You can also create and manage your data sources using the Bing Maps Account Center. The table below provides links to the documentation for both methods.
Before using this API, review the Geocode and Data Source Limits.
