Access denied due to invalid subscription key or wrong API endpoint.

Question

Hey,

Trying to make an call to the bing image search.

curl "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/images/search?Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key=SECRET_KEY&q=microsoft"

But getting the following error:

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.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong as I've grabbed the key from the key1 input.

Hi @HHjAh , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Please make sure you are using correct subscription key or API endpoint.

I have reproduced this everything works well on my end. Here's the CURL command again for your reference please try this:

curl "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/images/search?q=microsoft" -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: YOUR_SECRET_KEY"

Replace YOUR_SECRET_KEY with your actual subscription key. If the issue still persists, I would recommend regenerating your subscription key in the Azure portal and try again.

I hope this helps.
