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.
