regarding Azure implementation

Question

Existing:

 var requestStr = "http://api.bing.net/json.aspx?"+query+ "JsonType=callback", "JsonCallback=?";

$.ajax({
                type: "GET",
        url: requestStr,
                dataType: "jsonp",
                cache: true,
                timeout: 5,
                success: function(msg) {  i show the results; },error:function(msg){alert(msg.d)}

New code:

 var arr=query+ other attributes;

  var requestStr ="https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/Search/v1/Web"+arr;

   $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url: requestStr,
                dataType: "json",
                context:this,
                cache: true,
                timeout: 5,
                beforeSend: function(xhr){
                    xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic username:azurekey');
             },success: function(msg) {  i show the results; },error:function(msg){alert(msg.d)}

I always end up in getting the error message :  kindly  suggest regarding my implementation.

Answer 1

Hi,

Do you got any details message about the error? I suggest you use Fiddler 2 to capture the send request get more infomation.

Another thing is check if you ever use Base 64 to encode your Azure Marketplace key.

Hope this helps.

Great! thanks for your reply,  i have tried the following and it work. how ever, is there is any way to avoid the user name ie my emailaddress  not to show up in the code:

 var accountKey = "xxxx..........................";
   function setHeader(xhr) {
       xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic'+'[e-mail]'+$.base64.encode(':'+accountKey));
   }
   var requestStr ="https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/SearchWeb/Web?Query=%27i90%27";
   // make the call

   $.ajax({
           type: 'GET',
               url: requestStr,
               dataType: "json",
               context: this,
               beforeSend: setHeader,
               success: function(data,status){
               alert('posted!!!!');
           },
               error: function() {alert('not working');},

               });

Hi Murali,

Actually username property is not required, you need only add password as the authorization header.

For example, use Base 64 encode ':' + '<Your key>' in JQuery code, the request will still works.

Answer 4

Thanks arwind,

  the following authentication works. how ever it returns me a null value which is eating my head!.....

 xhr.setRequestHeader('Authentication','Basic'+ $.base64.encode(accountKey));

 $.ajax({  
           url: requestStr,
           dataType: "json",
           context: this,
           beforeSend: setHeader,
        
           success: function(data,status){
           alert(data);   //  i get always a null data ..........!!
       },
           error: function() {alert('not working');},
       
           });

Answer 5

Thanks guys!..  here if the fix for it.

This makes the code to work:  xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic '+encodedkey);

  var wshost = 'https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/SearchWeb/Web';

  var wssearchparam=query and other attributes for search!

 //send request to bing api
    $.ajax({
            type: 'GET',
                url: wshost,
                data: wssearchparam,
                dataType: "json",
                context: this,
                beforeSend: function(xhr){
                xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Basic '+encodedkey);
            },
                success: function(data){
                searchResults = data.d.results;
                alert(searchResults);
                alert(searchResults.length);
                for (var i = 0; i < searchResults.length; i++) {
                var object = searchResults[i];
                for (property in object) {
                var value = object[property];
                alert(property + "=" + value);
                 }
                }
            }
        });
