Date of some satellite images from Bing Maps

Hello! I am a journalist and OSINT investigator working on a project about deforestation. I am currently using satellite images in order to find illegal logging in Romania and I need to find the dates of two satellite images from Bing Maps and I need your help because I can't manage to find a way to get the imagery date on Bing Aerial View.

I need to get the dates of these two images. Can you please help me get it or tell me a way I can find the date myself?

Thank you!


Hello apGP! I'm Arissa, I'm happy to help you!

This seems to a a recurring demand mentioned by users, unfortunately there seems to be no way to find the dates of the aerial images from Bing maps.

There used to be some apps that you could use to find out the dates, but they seem to have been discontinued last June: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/44413/h...

Hello apGP & Arissa,

Please note that those are not forums, they are support pages for Microsoft Maps APIs and they will also not be able to provide you a date for imagery. If this is for legal purposes, we recommend that you contact an imagery provider such as Airbus or Earthstar Geographics to get a timeline of imagery to assist you with your case.

You can call the Maps REST API Get Imagery Metadata - Bing Maps | Microsoft Docs to retrieve the date range for an area but our imagery is stitched together from multiple providers so is not recommended for legal proceedings.

Sincerely,

IoTGirl
