Bing Instant Answers and White Pages Discontinued</h1> <article> <h1>Bing Instant Answers and White Pages Discontinued</h1> <p>2011-10-11T20:17:10Z</p> <p>Effective December 8, 2011, we will discontinue support for both the Instant Answers source type and for Phonebook Residential White Pages results via the Bing API version 2.0. For those of you using these source types with the Bing API, this means you will no longer receive results for Instant Answers or for Phonebook White Pages (Residential) results. </p> <p>We encourage you to continue using the many other source types available via the Bing API such as web, images, video, news, and more. For more information on using the API, a number of resources can be found <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd900818.aspx">here</a>. This includes implementation instructions, code examples, links to forums and other helpful documentation. We hope that these resources will assist you in the transition.</p> <p>Our team regularly evaluates our API to make sure we’re focusing on the right areas for our partners. Decommissioning source types allows us to dedicate more resources to supporting other parts of the API.</p> <p>As always, thanks for your partnership, and we hope you continue to find the Bing API valuable in powering your products.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Bing Scheduled Maintenance for Bing API and Management Tools on May 9th</h1> <p>2011-05-09T13:06:00Z</p> <p>The Bing API and management tools are undergoing scheduled maintenance. This maintenance will have no impact on your current use of the Bing API. Please check back tomorrow to sign up for the API or manage your AppIDs. </p> <p>We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. </p> <p>The Bing Team</p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Bing Bing.com/siteowner being shut down on April 4th, 2011</h1> <p>2011-02-04T19:06:04Z</p> <p>Gang, we've got a quick note here to alert users to an item we'll be shutting down in 60 days. </p> <p>As of April 4th, 2011 we will discontinue support for the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bing.com/siteowner">bing.com/siteowner</a> functionality. If you continue to leverage the feature after this date (April 4th, 2011), users who attempt to query in the search box will be redirected to a 404 page. This means that you will need to move to the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bing.com/toolbox/developers/?FORM=L8SP70">Bing API</a> in order to continue to receive web or site search results from us. We have decided to take this step for two reasons. </p> <p>First, the tool has not been getting a lot of use and while we have some very loyal customers on it, we believe we can provide you better alternatives in the future as we free up resources. </p> <p>Second, the functionality available through bing.com/siteowner can be replicated with the Bing search API and so it feels a bit redundant. </p> <p>As has become customary, we will give you a window to migrate off and ask us any questions you may have about this change. We will also provide reminders as we get closer to April 4th. Thank you so much for your support. </p> <p>The Bing Developer Team</p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Bing Bing Product Guidelines released (Update)</h1> <p>2010-08-23T19:39:00Z</p> <p>The <a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/4/E/04E076D4-60B2-4D31-BCC7-C4805B558DBB/Bing%20product%20guidelines.pdf">Bing Product Guidelines</a> provides visual guidelines and recommendations to implement the branding for Bing for third parties.

For migration resources and general API assistance, see the original post below.</em></span></h3> <p>Some time ago, we announced <a href="http://www.bing.com/community/blogs/developer/archive/2010/08/06/phasing-out-the-bing-search-api-1-1.aspx">Bing Search API 2.0</a>, a release which introduced a number of significant improvements (outlined below) over the older API 1.1. While we continued to support the older version by incrementally updating supporting documentation, today marks the final step in what has been a gradual transition to a single Bing Search API.</p> <p>As of November 1<sup>st</sup>, 2010 we will discontinue support for the Bing Search API 1.1. For those of you using the older API, this means that you will need to switch over to the newer API over the course of the next 3 months. To help make the switch to the new API as easy as possible, we have developed a number of resources which can be found <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd251056.aspx">here</a>. This includes implementation instructions, code examples, links to forums, and other helpful resources.</p> <p>The considerable benefits that come from moving to the newer API include:</p> <p><b>New SourceTypes</b></p> <ul type="disc"> <li><strong>RelatedSearch</strong> - view searches that provide information in which you might be interested, based on your current search</li> <li><strong>Instant Answer</strong> - get authoritative answers to questions, such as "What is 789*12?", "How many seconds are in a year?" as well as airline flight status.</li> <li><strong>MobileWeb</strong> - Get mobile Web search results - primarily Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) or Wireless Markup Language (WML) pages relevant to the queried term.</li> <li><strong>Video</strong> - Get videos relevant to your search terms.</li> <li><strong>Translation</strong> - Translate terms or small blocks of text from one language to another</li> </ul> <p><b></b></p> <p><b>New Protocols</b></p> <p>In this version, your application does not have to adapt to a single protocol. Instead, you can choose from a number of different protocols, including:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>JSON</li> <li>XML</li> <li>SOAP</li> </ul> <p><b></b></p> <p><b>Strong Typing</b></p> <p>In this version, data returned is strongly typed and ready to be consumed. For example, an image or a weather forecast is an object - not just a title, a URL and a description.</p> <p>The previous version had a single SearchRequest object that included all request parameters and a single SearchResponse that included all response fields. The fields in the response were populated or not based on the SourceTypes in the request.</p> <p>In this version, every SourceType has its own request and response objects. </p> <p><b>Developer portal</b></p> <p>This version unveils a new <a href="http://www.bing.com/developers">Bing Developer Center</a>, including new traffic management functionality.</p> <p><b>Unlimited traffic</b></p> <p>Version 2 offers new <a href="http://www.bing.com/developers/tou.aspx">Terms of Use</a>. Provided you comply with the stated terms, your applications can send an unlimited number of requests to the API.</p> <p>There are other benefits of this transition as well. The new Bing Search API introduced considerable improvements for maintenance and updates so that going forward, we can introduce feature improvements and other changes without switching API versions. Furthermore, we will better able to aid you in your requests for assistance as there will now be a single version to monitor and support. </p> <p>As always, if you have any questions or need any guidance on any API issues, please reach out to <a href="mailto:api_tou@microsoft.com">api_tou@microsoft.com</a>. </p> <p>Thanks for all your continued <a name="_GoBack"></a>support,</p> <p>Reed Shaffner</p> <p>Senior Product Manager</p> <p>Bing Developer Platform </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> </o:p></span></div> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Bing Guide to Bing Query Language Published</h1> <p>2010-06-25T19:19:00Z</p> <p>Bing offers several ways to augment a basic Bing query. For the most part, we’ve talked about using the Bing API to tailor requests. However, there is another tool that you can use in either an API request or a Bing box: Advanced Query Language. We’ve just published an extensive list (with descriptions and examples) of the operators, or syntactical units, that comprise this language. </p> <p>For example, if you want to augment a query for “windows” so that the result pages are from Microsoft.com, you would enter:</p> <blockquote><strong>windows site:microsoft.com</strong></blockquote> <p>You can view “Bing Query Language” in one of three formats:</p> <div align="center"> <table width="40%"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="33%"><b>FORMAT</b></td> <td> <div align="left"><b>AVAILABLE FROM</b></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>HTML</td> <td> <div align="left"><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff795667.aspx">MSDN</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>PDF</td> <td> <div align="left"><a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/0/B/40B434BE-610D-498E-9365-C474BE4C33C3/Bing_QL_Public.pdf">Microsoft Download Center</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>CHM</td> <td> <div align="left"><a href="http://www.bing.com/toolbox/media/p/9607860.aspx">Developer Center</a></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p> </p> <p><i>— Ian Whyte, Bing Developer Center</i></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Bing Writing Your First Bing Map App</h1> <p>2010-06-07T14:03:00Z</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;
