I am getting this exception while using the Bing search API.

Question

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.bing.microsoft.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v7.0/search?q=my+query&mkt=en-US (Caused by NameResolutionError("<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f29822e40a0>: Failed to resolve 'api.bing.microsoft.com' ([Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution)"))

Hello @Prem Kothawle , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

This error can occur due to various reasons, such as network connectivity issues, DNS configuration problems, or firewall restrictions.

Try to check your network connectivity: If you are behind a firewall or proxy server, make sure that it allows outbound connections to the Bing search API endpoint.

Verify the DNS configuration: Check if the DNS server settings on your device are correct.

Please re-try the API call and also share more details with us.
