Geocoding in PowerBI Desktop

[Niraj_vora0106]

Hi commuity,

Hope you all are doing well.

I've a doubt regarding Geocoding in Power BI.

I found an article which has clearly mentioned how to use Geocoding via Bings maps portal via creating API key.

URL: http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/400%20college%20drive%20middleburg%20florida%2032068?o...

and In place of {BingMapKey} I replaced it with my Bing Map Key which got generated in Bing Maps Dev centre.

I tried following same steps but when I'm trying to connect Via Web source in Power BI, it is showing me wrong credentials dialogue box error.

blow is the snip:

What am I doing wrong? please help

Hi @Niraj_vora0106 ,

According to the alert message, it seems that there is no sufficient permission to access the data source and load the data. You need to sign up for a Bing Maps developer account and create a new key. This key is required to access the Bing Maps API services. Once you get Bing Maps key, you can create a new query in Power BI with a Web connector and paste it included in the URL for the Bing Maps services.
