Geocode Dataflow Sample Code

Note

Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Geocode Dataflow API retirement

Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Geocode Dataflow API is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Geocode Dataflow API until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Geocode Dataflow API until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps Spatial Data Service Geocode Dataflow API will need to be updated to use Azure Maps Get Geocoding Batch or Azure Maps Get Reverse Geocoding Batch API by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type. Azure Maps Geocoding Batch API and Azure Maps Reverse Geocode Batch API will be updated to support a larger number of locations per batch soon. For detailed migration guidance, see Migrate Bing Maps Geocode Dataflow 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.

The following sample code uses the Geocode Dataflow to geocode spatial data.

Notes:

  • The code uses the functionality included in Microsoft® .NET 2.0 and is written as a console application.
  • The code accepts input data in any of the formats supported by the Geocode Dataflow. Examples of supported data formats are XML and CSV(comma-separated values). See Create Job for more information about supported data formats.
  • The code processes HTTP requests returned in XML format for version 1.0 of the Geocode Dataflow schema.
  • The results of the geocode job are output to files named succeeded.txt and failed.txt.
