Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Bing Search to your CData Connect Cloud account:

  1. Open the Connections page of the CData Connect Cloud dashboard.

  2. Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.

  3. Type Bing Search into the search field, then click the data source name.

  4. On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

  5. Enter the API Key. To obtain the API key, sign into Microsoft Cognitive Services and register for the Bing Search APIs.

  6. Select your Domain. Cognitive is the default but is deprecated. CData recommends that you use Bing if possible.

  7. At the top of the CData Connect Cloud Add Bing Search Connection page, click Save & Test.

    • If the connection test succeeds, a message indicates that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated.

    • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. CData Connect Cloud displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.
