How to get Traffic Data from Bing Maps API?

I am trying to find the API to get the Traffic Flow from Bing Maps, but I can't find it.

I see that they have Traffic API but it will only return Traffic Incidents.

I found the TrafficManager Class to use Traffic Flow API but I can't find Traffic Flow API. I am sure Microsoft has Traffic Flow API because they have mentioned it in Bing Maps Traffic Coverage.

Is there an API to get Bing Maps Traffic Flow?

It is not currently possible to retrieve granular per segment/route traffic information from Bing or the XAML MapControl. The MapControl does expose the TrafficFlowVisible property which controls whether traffic conditions are displayed on the map canvas.
