Geocoding — entry 012 of 80
Bing Maps
Bing Maps for Enterprise is being wound down: Microsoft has already retired free (Basic) account access, and existing Enterprise-licensed customers have until June 30, 2028 to migrate their REST APIs and SDKs to Azure Maps, its designated successor. The Locations/geocoding REST endpoint is still live and keyed by a Bing Maps API key, but new developers can no longer register for one — the account-creation flow now redirects straight to Azure Maps. Anyone starting a new integration should build on Azure Maps instead; this entry remains only for reference to existing Enterprise deployments.
