Any API to query the usage of Bing Map API license

Question

We are looking for a API to query usage of the Bing Map API license. Right now, based on reading on MSDN View Bing Map Usage, we could view the usage at Bing Map license account web site, however we would like to embed this usage into our own software with some usage tracking enhancement, so we are looking for the API to query this usage data.

Based on current internet search and MSDN document, we didn't find a way.

Or is there such usage query API for google Map API? Based on search, I didn't find that either.

If anyone knows such usage query API, please let us know. It is really appreciated.

Answer 1

There is no API for accessing Account usage information. This information can only be accessed through the Bing Maps account portal: http://bingmapsportal.com To be honest, there usually isn't a need to check this regularly if your web traffic is consistent. If your application is designed properly you should only generate one billable transaction per page view of the page that has your map. If you capture web metrics already, it should be fairly easy to use that information to determine the approximate usage against your Bing Maps account.
