Fix documentation for Bing Search API

Question

I wanted to use Bing Search API in my app, and I had a REALLY hard time finding the docs to connect to it..

The fact that the actual docs is in a document called MIGRATION GUIDE, is very bad. I'm not migrating anything, I'm creating a new app. 

For the sake of others after me, can you make the docs easier to find?

Answer 1

HI

In data market, there are three document.

Bing API Migration Guide

Resources for migrating existing applications to the Windows Azure Marketplace OData APIs.

• Bing API FAQ

  Frequently asked questions about the Bing Search API.

• Bing API Schema Guide

  This document provides schema information for accessing the Bing API: input parameters, options and response properties.

You can check other two. And I think Bing API Schema Guide is what you want.

And here is API Basics white paper.

Answer 2

The only document that describes the usage of the API is the migration guide. The schema guide fails to describe the authentication method.

The Bing documentation needs work.
