Protecting and Hiding your Bing Maps Key

Introduction

When using Bing Maps for Enterprise in your solution/application, you need a Basic Key (limited free trial) or an Enterprise key to use the services. For example, you would add a Bing Maps Key to the script URL loading the Bing Maps Web Control like this:

<script src="https://www.bing.com/api/maps/mapcontrol?callback=GetMap&key={your bing maps key}"></script>

Important: Bing Maps for Enterprise has been deprecated and is no longer available. Microsoft has discontinued this service. If you’re looking for mapping solutions, please refer to the Azure Maps documentation for current alternatives and migration guidance.
