Bing Image Search client library doesn't work

Question

Hi I have a problem when trying to reproduce code from this page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/bing-image-search/quickstarts/client-libraries?pivots=programming-language-python&tabs=visualstudio

pip install azure-cognitiveservices-search-imagesearch

Here is the code that I input in my Jupyter notebook

from azure.cognitiveservices.search.imagesearch import ImageSearchClient
from msrest.authentication import CognitiveServicesCredentials
subscription_key = **
subscription_endpoint = "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/"
search_term = "canadian rockies"
client = ImageSearchClient(endpoint=subscription_endpoint, credentials=CognitiveServicesCredentials(subscription_key))
image_results = client.images.search(query=search_term)

I get the following error:
ErrorResponseException: Operation returned an invalid status code 'Resource Not Found'

I have also tried using
subscription_endpoint = "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/images/search"

I have also tried using my cognitive service endpoints and key as well but get a different error
ErrorResponseException: Operation returned an invalid status code 'Forbidden'

What are the difference between all API. What are the difference between cognitive service and bing resources (what are their functionalities, when and how should I use them)
