Upon signing up your key will be valid for 90 days, upon which you will need to pay for a subscription to continue using the service.

Custom Search Functionality

To use the new custom search functionality provided by bing, you will need to create a new api key & endpoint at https://customsearch.ai.

You will then require the customconfig code that is generated upon receiving your API endpoint.

An example of a API endpoint would be:
https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bingcustomsearch/v5.0/search?q=microsoft&customconfig=1570678669&responseFilter=Webpages&mkt=en-us&safesearch=Moderate

of which the code you require to is the customconfig=########. place this code into the box provided in the settings and turn on the custom search functionality.
