Bing image api returning weird results
Issue: We have been using https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v5.0/images/search? For many years now to grab images from Wikimedia, but since March 30th, we have started receiving inappropriate pictures and have received several support tickets.
How it was before:
We make an API call like this (site:commons.wikimedia.org
https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v5.0/images/search?q=london+site:commons.wikimedia.org&offset=0&mkt=en-us&safesearch=Moderate
And use to get these results:
But now we are getting this if you type London under Wikimedia library, for example, and that is just an example—a girl image.
What else I tried:
I tried https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/images/search?q=london+site: commons.wikimedia.org&offset=0&mkt=en-us&safesearch=Moderate
But I got the same result; I thought it was because of v5 vs v7, but no difference.
Below is the screenshot of the API call and image returned:
And image returned is this.

I am in still the process of getting access of the main subscription but meanwhile I created this trial account so I can reach out for support it is an urgent matter for us
my other email to reach out: noor882@yahoo.com
