Answer 1

Hi,

This API is REST API. To troubleshoot this kind of issues it's suggested to use Fiddler to view the HTTP request and response. Could you please launch Fiddler, run your test code and, after you get the response in Fiddler, post the request (please make sure the api key is masked) and response (please mask sensitive data if needed) in this thread? Then we can know what the problem is.

If there is no data returned probably there is no inbound link identified for the specified site URL.

Thank you very much. It's working now for site that verified in Bing webmaster.

But now I have a question about "GetUrlLinks method".

Can GetUrlLinks method check UrlLinks for the site that not verify in Bing webaster?

I try and they return result as 0. If can't check they should be return "not authorized", right?

Hi,

No you can only get data of your own site that has been verfied by Bing webmaster.
