APP-ID for using Bing search api through "rbing" gem!

Hello all,

I’m currently working on something and I need to use Bing search api in my rails app.

I can user a gem called “rbing” which is a ruby wrapper around that api. For creating

and instance of RBing class and using its methods I need to pass an APP-ID to its

constructor like this → bing = RBing.new(“MYAPPID”)

for getting a Bing APP-ID I searched a lot and there are some guidelines for doing it

like this → http://www.microsoft.com/web/post/using-the-free-bing-translation-apis or

this → http://www.bing.com/developers/createapp.aspx but non of these guides seems

valid anymore and I don’t find the links they talk about or other parts.

Can you please help me on this and give me some guidelines about how can I

create a Bing APP-ID for using in my app?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

You should be able to use your account key as the correct value, given the recent migration to Azure. If you are looking for this functionality packaged into a gem, try checking out the searchbing gem.
