[GIS] Using Bing Maps background for QGIS?

bing-mapsqgis-3xyz-tiles

With the abandon of OpenLayer and the integration of the XYZ Tiles (in Data Browser).

Is there a way to integrate Microsoft Bing, or Here Map, as a satellite imagery layer in QGIS 3.0?

Like for Google Maps as detailed at Will the OpenLayers Plugin be updated for QGIS3?

@MatthiasKuhn has provided some examples in his answer to this post: Adding Basemaps from Google or Bing in QGIS?

For Bing, you could use:

Bing

For HERE maps, you will need to register in order to obtain an APP_ID and APP_CODE which can then be used for accessing satellite map tiles via the following URL:
