Hi, I'm trying to use trending api described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/search-apis/bing-news-search/how-to/trending-news I made this curl: curl --header "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: MY-SUBSCRIPTION-KEY" "https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/news/trendingtopics?customconfig=MY-CUSTOMCONFIG&mkt=es-ES&setLang=ES" but I always get this response: {"error":{"code":"401","message":"Access denied due to invalid subscription key or wrong API endpoint. Make sure to provide a valid key for an active subscription and use a correct regional API endpoint for your resource."}}% Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Rafa.

RafaP I see you are using the endpoint https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com which is for bing resources which were created under cognitive services namespace i.e most likely before October 2020. Try using the API under bing https://api.bing.microsoft.com if you have recently created your resource. Your request should look like something below: curl -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: <yourkeygoeshere>" "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/news/trendingtopics?mkt=en-US" I hope this helps!! Update: Editing the endpoint params, did not edit the custom config params from the initial OP post while posting the answer.

Thanks for you help @romungi-MSFT , but I tried both endpoints: "api.bing.microsoft.com" and "api.cognitive.microsoft.com" and I get errors.

With your suggested curl:

curl -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: <yourkeygoeshere>" "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/news/trendingtopics?customconfig=MY-CUSTOMCONFIG&mkt=es-ES&setLang=ES"

I get the error message:

{"error":{"code":"401","message": "The Trending Topics Operation under News Search API - v7 is not supported with the current subscription key and pricing tier Bing.CustomSearch.S1."}}%

I see that you are trying to use your custom search instance config in the request. I think that is causing the error. Tending news topic API uses the bing web search resource subscription key as mentioned on this page. It only supports the markets that are mentioned here and es-ES is not one of the market codes. Please see the screen shot of my GET request to get trending topics using my bing web search resource key with endpoint api.bing.com

You can effectively use the request or endpoint as-is and not combine this with custom search instance as that request will fail.

Hi @romungi-MSFT , as you can see in the image attached, I have tried the request as you have indicated and I still get the same error.

This is the curl version:

curl --header "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: MY-SUBSCRIPTION-KEY" "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/news/trendingtopics?mkt=en-US"

And the response:

{"error":{"code":"401","message": "The Trending Topics Operation under News Search API - v7 is not supported with the current subscription key and pricing tier Bing.CustomSearch.S1."}}%

RafaP Apologies for delayed response. I think you are using the subscription key of your bing custom search resource instead of just the bing web search resource. Please see screen shot below, if we search for bing there are options to create a bing custom search and bing web search resource. The highlighted resource, bing web search key should be used with this API. If you do not have this type of resource, please create one with the correct pricing tier and try to use its key with trending news API.

The error you are seeing is basically coming from the resource of your custom search resource since it is not capable to fetch results from the trending news API. I hope this helps!!

Only one more question... I'm trying to get result for brazilian market (mkt=pt-BR) but I get this response:

{ "_type": "TrendingTopics", "value": [] }

Is something not working correctly?

RafaP That's great!! It is now working for you with the right resource. It would be great if you could also mark my answer as helpful.

With respect to the market pt-BR I think it is an issue with the documentation where they are not supporting these markets at service level, but the documentation is not up to date. Infact, I have noticed other markets en-AU and en-IN are also not returning a response. I am checking internally to understand if these are still supported. Thanks for catching that.

RafaP I can confirm that the API is now not supported for market codes pt-BR, en-AU and en-IN. The content team should update the same in the documentation soon.
