VBA code using XMLHttpRequest always returns #VALUE! in Excel

问题

I'm trying to get the address in

https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/40.6718266667,-73.7601944444?o=xml&key=AqF-lvBxcTAEbhY5v0MfOHxhplD5NyaznesQ1IA5KS_RNghU1zrDiYN704mlrc8A

That's the ("//Location/Name")

The code is :

Function FindALocationByPoint(Lat As String, Lon As String, BingMapsKey As String) As String
Dim myRequest As XMLHTTP60

Dim uu As String
uu = "https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/" & Lat & "," & Lon & "?o=xml&key=" & BingMapsKey

Set myRequest = New XMLHTTP60
myRequest.Open "POST", uu, 0

myRequest.send

FindALocationByPoint = myRequest.readyState

(I know the final line should be FindALocationByPoint = myRequest.responseXML.SelectNodes("//Location/Name").Item(0).Text) That will also return #VALUE! I think the main problem is the unsuccessful connection to the website.

Then the cell=FindALocationByPoint(K2,L2,$W$4)will return#VALUE! If I delete myRequest.send then the cell will return 1, which means server connection established, right?

Then, why adding myRequest.send will return #VALUE! ?

Any Guidance?

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I've working with this for two days. If I change the URL and set uu equals another Geocoding website, there is no problem. So is there something wrong with the website?(Microsoft Bing) But I must use Bing, how to deal with this?

Thanks,

Ajax is not the problem here. You can load and use the long path to access:

Option Explicit
Public Sub test()
    Const URL As String = "https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/40.6718266667,-73.7601944444?o=xml&key=AqF-lvBxcTAEbhY5v0MfOHxhplD5NyaznesQ1IA5KS_RNghU1zrDiYN704mlrc8A"
    Dim sResponse As String, xmlDoc As Object    'MSXML2.DOMDocument60

    With CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
        .Open "GET", URL, False
        .send
        sResponse = .responseText
    End With

    Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument") 'New MSXML2.DOMDocument60

    With xmlDoc
        .validateOnParse = True
        .setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"
        .async = False

        If Not .LoadXML(sResponse) Then
            Err.Raise .parseError.ErrorCode, , .parseError.reason
        End If

        Dim a As IXMLDOMElement
        Set a = .LastChild.LastChild.FirstChild.LastChild.FirstChild.FirstChild

        Debug.Print a.nodeTypedValue
    End With
End Sub

If you execute the following script, it wll print you the same addresse twice dug out from different nodes. Let me know if this is what you expected or I got you wrong.

Sub GetAddress()
    Const URL$ = "https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations/40.6718266667,-73.7601944444?o=xml&key=AqF-lvBxcTAEbhY5v0MfOHxhplD5NyaznesQ1IA5KS_RNghU1zrDiYN704mlrc8A"
    Dim xmlDoc As Object, elem$, elemAno$

    With CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
        .Open "GET", URL, False
        .send
        Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
        xmlDoc.LoadXML .responseXML.XML
    End With

    elem = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//Location/Name")(0).Text
    elemAno = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//Address/FormattedAddress")(0).Text

    Debug.Print elem, elemAno
End Sub
