Bing Search APIs will be retired on 11 August 2025

1•huijzer•6mo ago
An interesting message I received from Microsoft Azure:

Bing Search APIs will be retired on 11 August 2025 ==================================================

You're receiving this notification because you're associated with one or more Azure subscriptions that use Bing Search APIs from Azure Marketplace.

Bing Search APIs (Search and Custom Search) will be retired from Azure Marketplace on 11 August 2025. Any existing instances of Bing Search (free tiers F0, F1 or paid tiers S1 to S9) including Autosuggest and Spellcheck; and Bing Custom Search (free tier F0 or paid tiers S1 to S4) will be retired. After 11 August 2025, there will be no new customer signups and existing customers will stop being serviced.

You may want to consider Grounding with Bing Search and Grounding with Bing Custom Search as part of Azure AI Agent Service offering. Grounding with Bing allows AI Agents to incorporate rich real-time public web data when generating responses with an LLM.

Required action

---------------

Review your usage of the Bing Search APIs or Bing Custom Search APIs and start planning your transition to minimize service disruption. To see which resources are affected by this retirement, Go to Bing Resources - Microsoft Azure and use the filter "Kind" to select "Bing.Search.v7" and "Bing.CustomSearch".

For AI scenarios, consider Microsoft's Grounding with Bing Search and Grounding with Bing Custom Search as part of Azure AI Agent Service offering. Grounding with Bing allows AI Agents to incorporate rich real-time public web data when generating responses with an LLM.
