Bing news search API Json response url param

Question

Today in the Bing the news search API response Json, I found that the url parameter is coming in a different way then it was coming previously.

As per the documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/Bing-News-Search/quickstart#the-response

The url parameter should start with

"url" : "http://www.bing.com/cr?IG=CCE2F06CA.......www.abc.com/......"

But since today it is starting with

"url" : "www abc.com......"

It is omitting the "bing.com...." prefixes..

Please confirm if this was changed recently and any plans to support the original one ??

Answer 1

Please confirm if this was changed recently and any plans to support the original one .

It seems that it is changed recently. We could check the document history from GitHub.

Based on my experience, it seems that there is no plan to support the original one.

But I also recommend that you could report an Azure support request to get the help from Azure team directly.
