    I'm having a problem with authentication. So it's not allowing me to gain access to api results

    For example,
    when I attempt to access
    https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/SearchWeb/Web?Query=%27Xbox%27

    I follow the directions from the BING_API_MIGRATION_GUIDE

    From the guide - "You'll be prompted for a user name and password from your browser. Leave the user-name field empty and enter your account key in the password field"

    I do so using the primary account key  and it returns 403 forbidden access

    I am using the free 5000 transactions, and the dataset query builder works.

    Hi, I am not sure how does the software send request to Bing Search API, but i suggest you use Fiddler to capture the request and get more info about the error. The error code 403 always means your Bing Account keys is not correct, try to get it here:
