Migrating from Bing Search API to Azure API Classic ASP

Question

Would anyone have example code in Classic ASP? I seem to be having a problem passing the account key in the HTTP Request.
401: The authorization type you provided is not supported. Only Basic and OAuth are supported

Answer 1

Can you paste your sample code here that can repro the problem?

Answer 2

I built my searchURL in the "Service Explorer" - works fine there and from a browser, authenticating normally.

The problem seems to be here. I've tried the following:

Set webreq = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")
    webreq.open "GET", searchURL, false
    webreq.setRequestHeader "Authorization" ,"Basic " &  base64Encode(":" & MyNewKey)
    webreq.send

The response is: 400: The provided format is not supported.

Also tried:

Set webreq = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")
    webreq.open "GET", searchURL, false, sUsername, base64Encode(MyNewKey)
    webreq.send

The response is: 401: The authorization type you provided is not supported. Only Basic and OAuth are supported

I have tried a million other different variations of setting the request header.

Answer 3

Your first code block is correct.

Set webreq = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")
    webreq.open "GET", searchURL, false
    webreq.setRequestHeader "Authorization" ,"Basic " &  base64Encode(":" & MyNewKey)
    webreq.send

The response is: 400: The provided format is not supported.

400 means the query you are using is invalid. "The provided format is not supported." means the value you provider after $format is invalid.

Can you share the query you were trying to make?

Answer 4

Right. I found the (stupid!) error in my query. I'm able to authenticate and get the data.Just need some help converting (I'm not following the documentation) this bit:

estimatedTotalResultsCount = FormatNumber(webreq.responseXML.selectSingleNode("//*[local-name(.)='Total']").text,0,-1,-1,-1)        
startIndex = webreq.responseXML.selectSingleNode("//*[local-name(.)='Offset']").text        
Set results = webreq.responseXML.selectNodes("//*[local-name(.)='Result']")        
endIndex = startIndex        
For Each result in results  
DocURL = result.selectSingleNode("*[local-name(.)='Url']").text            
DocTitle = result.selectSingleNode("*[local-name(.)='Title']").text            
DocSnippet = result.selectSingleNode("*[local-name(.)='Description']").text                       
DocDisplayURL = result.selectSingleNode("*[local-name(.)='DisplayUrl']").text
