igMap with Bing session
posted

Hi there,

Is it possible to use an igMap control with Bing and create a session for each user who lands on the page? Ultimately, we want to minimize the number of billable transactions when users load the map, pan, zoom, etc.

This post speaks on using sessions: https://blogs.bing.com/maps/2012/02/01/bing-maps-reporting-tips

Thanks!

    The way I have my map setup is with the following:

    I am creating a Bing map, and collecting the session key

        <script type='text/javascript'>

        var map, sessionKey;

        function GetMap() {
            map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map('#myMap');

            //Get a session key from the map and use with the REST services to make requests non-billable transactions.
            map.getCredentials(function (c) {
                sessionKey = c;
            });
        }
    </script>


    <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.bing.com/api/maps/mapcontrol?callback=GetMap&key=[MY_BING_API_KEY]' async="async" defer="defer"></script>

    Then I use that session key with the igMap

            $(chartID).igMap({
            backgroundContent: {
                type: "bing",
                key: sessionKey,
                bingUrl: "https://dev.virtualearth.net/rest/v1/imagery/metadata/",
                imagerySet: "AerialWithLabels"
            }
        })

    Is there anyway for me to know if the session key is working as intended?
