Constant 401 Error trying to use Bing visual search

Tyler Shubert 5

Hello Azure community!,

Hope all is well with everyone who reads this!

I'm running into some API issues with bing/bing visual search, that me or anyone else here can figure you...

I had some code to run a bing visual search for like images a few months ago... Going back to it now, I get a 401 error from the API " requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Access Denied for url: https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/images/visualsearch"
figured the API key expired or such... trying with multiple new keys and still getting the same result. I remember having to do it a handful of times the first time before I finally got something that worked. Hoping someone might be able to provide some insight. Thanks!!

@Tyler Shubert Could you post your code snippet to understand how the call is being made to the endpoint? The error does indicate incorrect keys, or no key is passed in the header. The keys can be picked up from your Azure Bing resource from Keys & Endpoint blade from Azure portal. Thanks!!
