Here are the steps to create a Bing Search Service resource through Azure Marketplace and get your key.

1. Go to Azure Portal and sign in with your Microsoft account. If you don't have a Microsoft account, click Create one!.
2. From the portal, type Bing in the search box.
3. Under Marketplace in the search results, select the Bing service you're interested in (for example, Bing Search or Bing Custom Search).

5. On the Create a free account splash screen, click Start free.
6. Next, you have the option of continuing with the free trial (click Start free again) or paying for an Azure subscription (click Or buy now). You can always start with the free trial and pay for a subscription later.

Free trial option

If you clicked Start free, simply follow the sign up process.

You should be redirected back to Azure Portal where you can create a resource and get your key. If Azure wasn't able to redirect you, go to Azure Portal and sign in with your Microsoft account. Back in the portal, type Bing in the search box. Under Marketplace in the search results, select the Bing service you're interested in (for example, Bing Search or Bing Custom Search).
