Delete a Data Source

Note

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.

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.

Use the following URL to delete a data source. To delete a data source, a delete data source job is created.

You can also use the Bing Maps Account Center to delete a data source. For more information, see Creating and Managing Data Sources.

A job is created when you delete a data source. Before using this API, review the job limits in Geocode and Data Source Limits.

To get a list of all the data source and geocode jobs submitted in the last 15 days, see Get Job List.

Supported HTTP Methods

DELETE

URL Template

Delete a data source.

The key parameter in this URL must be set to the data source master key.

You can get the data source base component (http://spatial.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/data/*accessId*/*dataSourceName*), by using the Get Data Source Information API and requesting information about all the data sources associated with the Bing Maps Account that manages the data source.

The URL uses the HTTP DELETE method so you cannot delete a datasource by typing the URL directly in the address bar of a browser. See the Example section for more information.

http://spatial.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/data/accessId/dataSourceName?key=masterKey  

After you initiate a job to delete a data source, you must wait until the delete job is completed before creating a new data source with the same name.
