Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Data Source Management API retirement

Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Data Source Management API is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Data Source Management API until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Data Source Management API until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Data Source Management API will need to be updated to use an alternative, such as an Azure-based solution, by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type. For detailed migration guidance, see Migrate Bing Maps Data Source Management and Query API.

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.

When you make a data source public, it can be queried by anyone with a Bing Maps Key and the query URL. A private data source can only be queried using the query key you specify or the master key. There are two ways to set the data source access to public or private.

Note

For information on data source limits that apply to this feature, see Geocode and Data Source Limits.

  • On upload: When you upload data to a data source, and publish it without geocoding, you have the option to specify whether the data source is public or private.

  • After the data source is published: After a data source is published, you can change the data source access status from the Published Data Sources tab on the Manage data sources page under Data Sources. Depending on the current access status, a Make Public or Make Private button appears for each published data source. When you click the button to change the data source access, the change takes affect within minutes.
