Hi Ray,

You don't need AppID anymore, you should use account key from https://datamarket.azure.com/account for basic authentication with the service. Examples are located here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=248077.

JSON: just use json as an output format of your query. E.g.: https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/Search/v1/Image?Query=%27xbox%27&$top=50&$format=json

Thanks,

Max
