Bing API Key???

Question

Okay, so I haven't done this in a while, and am trying to access Bing search the ethical way, since my application will be making bing queries quite often.

To start, I signed up for a Bing API key with 5000 queries per month for free to develop with.

Once I'm finished I was planing on purchasing an API key. HOWEVER... I cannot find my API key???

I have and primary account key and a Customer ID. Tried using each and it spits back an error, invalid and the error value is either the Primary Account Key or Cust ID. So these are not my API key. Where do I get my API key after signing up?

I'm about ready to just start coding around bing's api checks.

Answer 1

Your API key is your account key (which can be found here): https://datamarket.azure.com/account

What is the error you are getting?

Answer 3

Thanks. I totally forgot about this question.

Just for reference, it was my problem. Was using a library I made a few years ago. Apparently the API has changes. It was a should've "RTFM" mistake on my part.
