Getting Streetside Tiles from Imagery Metadata

Note

Bing Maps for Enterprise service retirement

Bing Maps for Enterprise is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps for Enterprise services until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps for Enterprise services until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps for Enterprise REST APIs and SDKs will need to be updated to use Azure Maps by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type.

Azure Maps is Microsoft's next-generation maps and geospatial services for developers. Azure Maps has many of the same features as Bing Maps for Enterprise, and more. To get started with Azure Maps, create a free Azure subscription and an Azure Maps account. For more information about azure Maps, see Azure Maps Documentation. For migration guidance, see Bing Maps Migration Overview.

The Bing Maps REST Imagery API now supports the retrieval of Streetside images. In this article, we demonstrate how to to make an Imagery API Metadata URL request at a location on Earth and then use this request to piece together the raw tiles to create a panorama of that location.

Using for our location a point in Ballard, Seattle (47.668687,-122.384795) we create a URL request for the Streetside metadata at that location using the Imagery Metadata API.

URL Request

Piecing the Tiles Together

The above JSON response returned a URL in the imageURL field.

http://ecn.{subdomain}.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/hs0203232101212100{faceId}{tileId}?g=6617&key={BingMapsKey}

This field contains three placeholders: subdomain, faceId, and tileId. Here we have four options for subdomain, found in the imageUrlSubdomains of the JSON response.

The faceId and tileId are integers which are used to label the available raw tiles for that location.

In the below picture, each tile is labeled with its faceId and tileId in the format: "{faceId}-{tileID}".

Streetside Metadata Image Pieced Together

For example, to retieve the tile with faceId = 0 and tileId = 1 (letting subdomain be t0) we can use the following image URL:

http://ecn.t0.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/hs020323210121210001?g=6617&key={BingMapsKey}

This URL request returns the following JPEG image:

0_SingleTile

Code Sample

Below is a .NET Core 2.0 C# source code example for creating the above panorama by making multiple REST calls to the ImageUrl for each valid faceId and tileId.
