Bing API for Calculating routes with start time and end time

Question

Hi All,

I'm using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/routes/calculate-a-route to calculate duration and distance from postcodes.

My request parameters are postcode from and post code to and responses are duration and distance. This works fine.

But I want to send start date and time in request parameter and need end date and time in response.

Tried http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Routes?wayPoint.1={wayPoint1}&viaWaypoint.2={viaWaypoint2}&routeAttributes={routeAttributes}&dateTime={dateTime}&maxSolutions={maxSolutions}&distanceUnit={distanceUnit}&key={BingMapsKey}.

But the result I got is something wrong . Any other suggested request parameter for using start and end time??

@IoTGirl : I Tried the same ,if the timetype is arrival and datetime is past, the response is correct.

Request :
timeType=Arrival&dateTime=08/21/2021 13:00:00

<StartTime>2021-08-21T12:46:08</StartTime>
<EndTime>2021-08-21T13:00:00</EndTime>

But if the timetype is departure and datetime is past the response is coming as
<StartTime>0001-01-01T00:00:00</StartTime>
<EndTime>0001-01-01T00:00:00</EndTime> .

Hi Saranya,

I have passed your results to the Maps Routing team for review and I will get back to you with their answer when they get back to me.

UPDATE: The Routing team has identified the issue and has created a work item for a fix. No time or date estimate as to when the issue will be fixed yet.

Sincerely,
