Bing Maps List Time Zone API retirement

Bing Maps List Time Zone API is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps List Time Zone API until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps List Time Zone API until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps List Time Zone API will need to be updated to use Azure Maps Timezone API 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 list operation retrieves all available time zone data for either the IANA or Windows time zone standard. Additionally, information about any particular time zone can be retrieved using the ID for that time zone formatted in either the IANA or Windows time zone standard.

API Templates

These templates support both HTTP and HTTPS.

Return Details about a Particular Timezone

The Time Zone API can be used to retrieve information about any timezone by specifying either its IANA or Windows Time Zone ID.

In this example, to get information about the time zone in L.A., we set desttz to the IANA code America/Los_Angeles.

https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/V1/TimeZone/?desttz=America/Los_Angeles&includeDstRules=true&key={BingMapsKey}
