Does the Bing Search API demo key have any limitations?

Question

Does the Bing Search API (images) demo key have any limitations? On the test page (https://azure.microsoft.com/ru-ru/services/cognitive-services/bing-image-search-api/), the search phrase produces a lot of results, but in my script there are no results at all. Here is the script itself:

function getImages($query) {
    $query = str_replace(' ', '+', $query);
    $url = 'https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/images/search?q=' . $query . '&safesearch=strict';
    $curl = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, '1'); 
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'Content-Type: multipart/form-data',
        'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: KEY'
    ));

    $result = curl_exec($curl);
    $result = json_decode($result, true);

    return $result['value'];
}

Hi, unless you've exhausted your quota limits for the month, you should be able to view results. Can you try the following sample python code or submit your request using Postman? Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks.

import requests

url = "https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/images/search?q='abstract art'"

headers = {
  'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': '<key>'
}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)

response.json()
