What does each Bing Maps action accept?
Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.
Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and features of the official site are not part of the EveryInfra API unless this page lists them.

Bing Maps API questions
What can I retrieve with the Bing Maps API?
Set platform to bing_maps. The current catalog lists search. These action names identify different Bing Maps objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.
Which input starts the Bing Maps search request?
What to look for on the map, a business name or category such as coffee or pizza. Send it as keyword inside params.
Which fields can Bing Maps search return?
Its declared schema includes rank, place_id, name, and category. A declared field can still be absent from an individual record, and every other action has its own field list.
Does every Bing Maps action return immediately?
Actions labeled asynchronous return a job ID you poll. Every other action can also run asynchronously: add "mode": "async" to the request body to receive a job ID immediately, useful for slow tasks or large limits. The current catalog contains sync delivery.
