Resource not found

Question

Like everyone else using the Bing Search API, I received an email from Azure telling me "Bing Search APIs will transition from Azure Cognitive Services to Azure Marketplace on 31 October 2023" I have a few questions about this change. In the email I received, it specifically lists the following services:

• Bing Auto Suggest
• Bing Custom Search
• Bing Entity Search
• Bing Spell Check
• Bing Web Search

but I'm using Bing News Search.

I'm assuming News is included in the list of services, but I want to make sure. I created a Bing Resource in Azure and I'm trying to use it to search news using my new API keys and the code at https://github.com/Azure-Samples/cognitive-services-REST-api-samples/blob/master/nodejs/Search/BingNewsSearchv7.js but when I connect to the service, I receive a Resource not found error with a 404 response code.

Here's my code:

const BING_KEY = Config.BING_ACCESS_KEY;  
const BING_HOST = "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/news/search";  
const BING_MARKET = 'en-US';  
const SEARCH_QUERY = 'pwa';  
  
 let request_params = {  
      method: 'GET',  
      uri: BING_HOST,  
      count: 20,  
      headers: { 'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': BING_KEY },  
      qs: { q: SEARCH_QUERY, mkt: BING_MARKET },  
      json: true  
    }  
  
    // Call the Bing search API  
    request(request_params, (error: any, response: Response, body: any) => {  
      //@ts-ignore     
      console.log('statusCode:', response && response.statusCode);  
      if (error) console.error('error:', error);  
      //@ts-ignore  
      if (response && response.statusCode == 200) {  
        console.log('original query: ' + body.queryContext.originalQuery);  
      }  
      console.table(body);  
    });

@John Wargo Thanks for the question, Please use the following endpoint BING_HOST = "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/news/search" and find the below snapshot for the same.
