Getting Started: Using the Bing API from a Browser

Bing API Version 2.0 Beta’s HTTP endpoint facilitates the process of using HTTP GET to send requests. While this is not the mechanism you’re likely to use in a production environment, it is a useful way to get a sense of how the API works. Using the API from a browser can include:

• Getting an AppID

• Determining values for required parameters

• Working with optional parameters

• Choosing a protocol

• Sending a request

• Working with results

• More sample requests

• Parsing JSON results
