Bing
A layer that can visualize data from a Bing Maps web service. A Bing maps layer displays map content from a Bing Maps web service, providing access to static map tiles and imagery meta-data. Map style and culture can be customized prior to loading the layer.
Functional characteristics
Bing maps require an API key from Microsoft. There are two ways to set this key:
By providing an ArcGIS portal configured with a Bing Maps key. For more information, see https://blogs.esri.com/esri/supportcenter/2014/01/27/how-to-install-a-microsoft-bing-key-and-access-the-imagery-from-the-add-basemap-window/
By providing a Bing Maps key directly for this layer. For more information, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff428642.aspx
A Bing maps layer will fail to load if it does not have a Bing map key or a Portal from where it can get the Bing map key. In this situation, you can set the BingMapsLayer.key and call Loadable.retryLoad(). To use the BingMapsLayer you must adhere to https://links.esri.com/runtime/bing_guidelines.
Bing maps layers do not support identify, query, selection, or time.
Performance characteristics
Bing maps layers perform similarly to other tiled layers. Raster tiles are fetched from Bing's servers on demand.

Properties
The Bing Maps API key for this layer. The value of BingMapsLayer.key cannot be changed after the layer loads.
The Bing Maps style used to display this layer. The value of BingMapsLayer.style cannot be changed after the layer loads.
Inherited properties
The attribution string for the image tiled layer.
The brightness of the layer.
A flag indicating whether the layer content's visibility can be changed. A flag indicating whether the layer content visibility can be changed. Will return false if an error occurs.
The description for the layer.
The full extent of this layer, which is the extent where all layer data is contained. You can use this to zoom to all of the data contained in this layer. For feature layers, the extent is retrieved from its FeatureTable.extent.
The unique identifying string for the layer, as specified in a map or scene. The id is used by other parts of this API to refer to a specific Layer, such as in a set of FeatureFenceParameters or a FacilityLayerDefinition. If not supplied, all layers will be assigned a unique id when created.
True if the layer supports identify, false otherwise. The value of this property may not be correct until the layer is in a fully loaded state.
The load status.
The maximum scale for the layer. The maximum scale at which this layer is visible. If the map or scene is zoomed in beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of 0 means there is no maximum scale threshold and the layer will be visible at the smallest scale available for the map or scene. If the value is nil, there is no maximum scale. All of the connected map and scene views will be updated.
The minimum scale for the layer. The minimum scale at which this layer is visible. If the map or scene is zoomed out beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of 0 means there is no minimum scale threshold and the layer will be visible at the largest scale available for the map or scene. If the value is nil, there is no minimum scale. All of the connected map and scene views will be updated.
Controls how a tile request that returns 'NoData' is resampled. Zooming in can result in tile requests with no tiles at the requested level of detail. In this case, there are options that control what to display where the tile should be including:
A flag indicating whether the layer content participates in the legend. A flag indicating whether the layer content is shown in the legend.
The spatial reference of the layer.
The sub layer contents of a layer content.
Callback invoked when the visibility of the layer changes.
Functions
Clones the BingMapsLayer.
Inherited functions
Cancels loading metadata for the Loadable object.
Fetches the list of legend info.
Returns the layer content's effective visibility at the specified scale. Returns the effective layer content visibility. This effective visibility takes care of the effective visibility of the parents at the specified scale. Will return false if an error occurs.
