: How to get an App id on bing to use API's? (website instructions not working) I'm just switching from the Google Maps API to Bing since Bing's tos allows commercial storage of geocoding results.

I'm just switching from the Google Maps API to Bing since Bing's tos allows commercial storage of geocoding results. I was able to sign up for a Microsoft live registration and get a Bing Maps API key. But I need an app id too. I tried these directions:
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd440736.aspx
But when I go to the developer center, I see nowhere to login and nothing that refers to an app id. When I search on the developer center for an app id, all I get is the reference to the instructions above. I tried contacting Microsoft/Bing, but all their links for "technical support" are failing so I'm at a loss. Can anyone tell me another way to get an app id for purposes of using Bing mapping API?

I finally found their alternate help page: www.bingmapsportal.com/

Your Bing Maps Account lets you create Bing Maps Keys to use with the Bing Maps APIs. You can also create and manage data sources that contain entities with a location.


What a boondoggle to get there!
