How to check if a Street Side (or Street View) exist for a coordinate in Bing Maps - bing-maps

Question

I am trying to create a custom control in Angular on the Map. The control will display a button on top of a Map and when user drops the mouse anywhere in map, if the street side exists for that coordinate on map, then street view should be loaded.
Otherwise the user should be prompted a message that "No street side exists for the chosen point"
How can check that street side exists or not using Bing Maps API.

Take a look at the following REST API:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/imagery/get-imagery-metadata
Specifically, you can request the Streetside Imagery metadata to determine the availability of Streetside at a location at a specified zoom level (and the vintage of said imagery):
https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/Metadata/{imagerySet}/{centerPoint}?orientation={orientation}&zoomLevel={zoomLevel}&include={ImageryProviders}&key={BingMapsAPIKey}
From the examples:
http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/MetaData/Streetside/47.668687,-122.384795?key={BingMapsAPIKey}
This returns the following info:
