Bing search API AppId not working?

Question

I've found a number of other people out there that have this issue but no real solution.

I am trying to hit the web service below but every time it throws the error:

> "Code":1002,"Message":"Parameter has invalid
> value.","Parameter":"SearchRequest.AppId

I read somewhere that you need to put single quotes around the appid which i did:

http://api.search.live.net/json.aspx?&Appid=%27Ii80VAjSf0Wa5PMgsh31M%2B11111111df2nijXk%2BjmyM%3D%27&query=abe&sources=web+image


But it throws the same error as the standard method:

http://api.search.live.net/json.aspx?&Appid=Ii80VAjSf0Wa5PMgsh31M%2B11111111df2nijXk%2BjmyM%3D&query=abe&sources=web+image

Has anyone else run into this?  Recommendations on how to get around it?

Nope still no luck :(

I got my "App ID" from the "Account Keys" section here: https://datamarket.azure.com/account/keys

Is that the correct place?

Answer 3

The link you describe is not there....  When I go to the URL you posted I get the page below.  Where is there anything about creating an AppID on there?  I also tried clicking on the "Get started now" button under the search api section.  There is nothing about creating an AppId there either...

Answer 4

Hi,

AppId is deprecated. Use access token as value or client key.
