| |  | | Dear Bing API Developer:
We recently announced that the Bing Search API is transitioning to the Windows Azure Marketplace. We encourage you to sign up for our new offering before Bing Search API 2.0 AppIDs are decommissioned on August 1, 2012. On and after this date, AppIDs will no longer return results.
Right now, we're also offering a limited time trial on the Windows Azure Marketplace so that you can test out the API and determine what query volume works best for your application. If you are a high volume user who needs more queries per month than what is listed on the Marketplace, please submit a request to onboard through a separate process.
To transition your application: - Sign up for the Windows Azure Marketplace.
- Read the migration guide on transitioning your application. You can expect the transition to involve targeting a new API end point, moderate changes to the request and response schemas, and a new security requirement to authenticate your application key.
- Subscribe to the Bing Search API and create an application key. You will not be charged for API usage until the trial period expires. Developers interested in using only web results can also sign up for a lower cost offering.
In an effort to prioritize our more frequently used services, the Phonebook SourceType and RSS endpoint will no longer be available through the Bing Search API. In addition, translation capabilities will continue to be offered through Microsoft Translator instead of through the Bing Search API.
If you have questions about these changes, please see the FAQs.
We appreciate your continued involvement as we expand and improve our search services. Please stay tuned on the Bing Developer Blog for future updates.
Note: The changes described in this announcement apply only to the Bing Search API. Bing Maps services will not be impacted.
