Bing Maps

Overview

The source API document is summarized in references/api.md. Read it when field behavior or response shape is unclear.

Workflow

1. Identify the user's map/place query and map optional requirements to API fields:
   • q: Bing Maps 搜索关键词。必填。
   • json: 输出格式。用户未指定输出格式时默认使用 1；2 表示 JSON+HTML，3 表示 HTML。
   • cp: 查询中心点 GPS 坐标，格式为 纬度~经度。仅当用户提供坐标时传入。
   • setlang: 两位语言/地区值，例如 us、de、gb。仅当用户要求语言/地区时传入。
   • place_id: Bing Maps 地点唯一引用。仅当用户提供地点 ID 时传入。
   • first: 本地结果偏移量。参数说明写明默认值为 0，因此用户未指定时使用 0。
   • count: 每页建议返回结果数量。最大值为 30，但最大值不是默认值。仅当用户要求结果数量时传入。
   • no_cache: true 表示跳过缓存，false 表示使用缓存。参数说明写明默认值为 false，因此用户未指定时使用 false。
2. Prefer explicit user-provided field values over inferred values.
3. Use defaults from the parameter descriptions when the user does not specify a value:
   • engine: bing_maps
   • json: 1
   • first: 0
   • no_cache: false
   • No defaults for q, cp, setlang, place_id, or count.
4. Never treat documentation examples as defaults. Do not add sample values such as coordinates, setlang=us, or count=30 unless the user explicitly requested that field.
5. Use the bundled Python script with python3. Pass the whole user request through --prompt and add explicit flags only when overriding automatic parsing.
6. Ensure authentication before a live call:
   • Read DATAIFY_API_TOKEN from the current environment.
   • The script adds a Bearer prefix when the token does not already include one.
7. Run a dry run when you need machine-readable parsing output without calling the API:

bash

python3 scripts/bing_maps.py --prompt "JiangSu" --dry-run

Expected dry-run payload:

json

{
  "engine": "bing_maps",
  "q": "JiangSu",
  "json": "1",
  "first": "0",
  "no_cache": "false"
}

bash

Script Usage

The script supports automatic parsing plus explicit overrides:

bash

python3 scripts/bing_maps.py \
  --prompt "搜索JiangSu，并返回 JSON 和 HTML" \
  --json 2
bash
python3 scripts/bing_maps.py --prompt "JiangSu" --dry-run

Result presentation

• Return a compact, user-facing result by default: the most relevant titles, links, and vertical-specific fields, plus a count or truncation note when useful.
• Do not expose transport details, fixed engine fields, task plumbing, or the full response envelope in the ordinary flow.
• Return raw JSON or HTML only when the user explicitly requests raw output.
• Preserve source links and distinguish missing fields from empty values; do not invent data.

Quick Start

bash

python3 scripts/bing_maps.py --prompt "JiangSu" --dry-run

Parameter interaction policy

• For a clear, low-risk, read-only, and low-cost request, apply safe defaults and execute immediately. A short execution summary is optional; do not pause for confirmation.
• Ask only for a missing required input, a material ambiguity, a high-volume or multi-page scope, a media download, a choice that materially changes credit usage, an irreversible action, or an explicit user request to review parameters.
• When confirmation is required, show only user-facing values that affect the target, scope, output, or cost. Prefer one concise sentence; use a compact table only when three or more consequential values are easier to compare.
• Never show fixed fields, empty optional fields, unchanged defaults, credentials, or internal implementation parameters such as engine selectors, response-format flags, offsets, spider IDs, and file-name templates.
• Keep advanced filters hidden unless the user asks for them or they are needed to resolve ambiguity. Never substitute documentation example values for missing required user input.
• After returning results, offer relevant refinements instead of forcing all optional decisions before the first result.

Account CTA policy

• Show a prominent Dataify account CTA only when the API token is missing, rejected/invalid, or the account has insufficient credits.
• For a missing token, offer https://dashboard.dataify.com/login?utm_source=skill and state: New accounts receive 50 free credits. Never ask the user to paste the token into chat.
• Detect the current operating system and shell. Show only the matching session-scoped setup command first (export for macOS/Linux shells, $env: for Windows PowerShell, or set for Windows Command Prompt). Show other platforms or persistent setup only when detection is ambiguous or the user asks.
• After the user says the token is configured, verify only whether DATAIFY_API_TOKEN is present; never print its value. If verification succeeds, continue the original task without asking the user to repeat it.
• Explain that persistent shell changes may require a new terminal or restarting the agent application. Do not recommend a project .env unless the execution path explicitly loads it, and ensure .env is ignored by version control.
• For an invalid token, direct the user to API-key management without implying that a new registration is required. For insufficient credits, direct the user to balance or recharge management.
• During normal submission, processing, and successful completion, do not promote registration or the Dashboard. Never expose the token or include it in CTA attribution parameters.
