I'm following the quickstart code here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/bing-web-search/quickstarts/client-libraries?pivots=programming-language-python
I'm using a Bing Resource with the Free Tier.
The endpoint I'm using is https://api.bing.microsoft.com/
When I hit web_data = client.web.search(query="Yosemite"), I receive the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

@yjosms Thanks for reporting your issue. This error seems to be due to the recent migration of the service from cognitive services to bing, our team is aware of the same and are working to update the SDKs accordingly. You can use the existing keys directly with the REST API to get the correct response. We understand that this could be a frustrating experience until the SDKs are updated, we will update this issue with more details as soon as we have a fix. Thanks!!
Thanks, @romungi-MSFT
The sample code for the REST APIs in the official doc (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/bing-web-search/quickstarts/python) doesn't work.
After many trials, I changed the search_url to https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/search and it works now.
It would be really helpful if the doc is updated properly since this issue is really tricky to resolve.
@yjosms Thanks for the response. Yes, the REST API with the above endpoint works but the client SDK still fails. Our team is currently looking to fix this soon.

Are your team still looking into this? I think the docs need to be updated to say the SDK no longer works if not.

Changing to that url worked for me as well, thanks.

Changing to that URL doesn't work anymore.
It has been a year and this is still not fixed. When will Microsoft ever get to fixing this issue with the SDK?

The documentation across Bing and Azure search remains a mess - broken links, conflicting advice and ChatGPT gets lost trying to use Bing to help give accurate answers.
Maybe MS doesn't really want anyone using API's outside .NET?

I resolved the issue. The problem lies in the following file: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/main/sdk/cognitiveservices/azure-cognitiveservices-search-websearch/azure/cognitiveservices/search/websearch/operations/_web_operations.py.
I changed url = self._client.format_url(url, **path_format_arguments) to url = path_format_arguments['Endpoint'] and the problem has been resolved. I've also submitted a PR, hoping they'll merge it asap.
