The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable

Question

Hello,

I have a Basic / Not-for-profit account, and I permanently get this ERR "The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable", when I try to upload a csv or a tab delimited data file.

Key seems to be ok, because I get a valid answer for requests like

http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/DE/85614/Kirchseeon/Bahnhof?key=xyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyz

Trying

http://spatial.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/dataflows/listjobs?key=xyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyz&output=xml

shows a valid result:

<StatusCode>200</StatusCode><StatusDescription>OK</StatusDescription><AuthenticationResultCode>ValidCredentials</AuthenticationResultCode><TraceId>xyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyzxyz|DB40070235|7.7.0.0|</TraceId><ResourceSets><ResourceSet><EstimatedTotal>0</EstimatedTotal><Resources/></ResourceSet></ResourceSets>

Any ideas how to solve the problem?

Answer 1

How many rows are in your file? There is a limit of 50 rows for basic accounts. Have you looked at the tips page here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh463582.aspx

have you tried uploading the data source using the bing maps portal?

Answer 2

Great, that was the solution. I had about 200 rows in the uploaded file.

I'm just wondering, why the system has sent such a mysterious/false err msg.

Answer 3

Not sure
