Connecting to Microsoft Bing

To connect to Microsoft Bing, set the APIKey. To obtain the API key, create a Bing Search resource through the Azure Marketplace, as the Bing Web Search API has moved from Azure Cognitive Services to Bing Search Services. Once your resource is created, you are provied with a subscription key (API key). Use this for the APIKey property in your connection setup.

Note: You can use the APIVersion property to specify the API version you are connecting to. The possible values are 'V5' and 'V7'. However, the Microsoft Bing Web Search API v5, previously available through Azure Cognitive Services has been deprecated. The default value is 'V7'. Ensure your application is using API version 'V7' and the updated endpoint to avoid service disruptions.

Creating a Bing Search Resource through Azure Marketplace

1. Sign in to the Azure Portal with your Microsoft account. If you don’t have an account, click Create one!
2. In the search bar, type Bing and select the appropriate Bing service from the Marketplace.
3. Select your subscription details, or click Start free to sign up for a trial or purchase a subscription if you don't have one.
4. Choose an existing Resource group or create a new one to organize your resources.
5. Enter the instance details for a Name, Region, and select the Free F1 pricing tier or another package, if applicable.
6. Accept the terms, and click Review + Create. Once deployment is complete, click Go to resource.
7. To obtain your API key, click Keys and Endpoint from the left-pane menu. Use this key for the APIKey property.
