• More Information

You can use the Microsoft Bing connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from Microsoft Bing and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Establish a Connection

To allow Sync to use data from Microsoft Bing, you first must establish a connection to Microsoft Bing. Follow these steps to connect Microsoft Bing to your Sync account:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the Microsoft Bing row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row. If you do not see the Configure Connection icon, you need to add the connector according to the instructions in Connections.

5. Enter connection settings on the Settings tab:

   • Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

   • API Key - Enter the API key for the Bing search.

   • API Version - Select the version of the Microsoft Bing API with which you want to connect. The default version is V7.

   • Domain - Select the Microsoft Bing domain with which you want to connect. The default domain is Cognitive.

6. Click Create & Test to create the connection.

7. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
