Hi @Mara Salem,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!
The Bing Visual Search API offers different tiers with varying features and transaction limits. Advanced functionalities like ImageShoppingSourcesAction
or shopping-related insights might only be available in specific paid tiers, such as S9, while the free plan may have limitations and might not include these features.
Key points:
- Free Tier Limitations: The free plan supports Bing Visual Search but may lack advanced features like shopping-related insights.
- S9 Tier for Advanced Visual Search: To access advanced insights such as shopping sources, you may need a dedicated plan that supports these features.
- Focus of Other Plans: Tiers like S1–S8 primarily focus on web, image, and video searches, not advanced visual search capabilities.
To confirm if this is a tier-specific limitation, check your current subscription and review the available offerings in your plan. If needed, upgrading to a tier designed for advanced visual search could resolve the issue.
For clarification, refer to: Bing Search API Pricing.
