Thanks for the feedback. We do not have any immediate plans to change the call limit for the preview offering. We've seen from our data that 1K calls / month are sufficient for most developers who want to get started using the APIs. We we will certainly consider revising this in the future if there's strong demand. I encourage you to file this as a request here: https://cognitive.uservoice.com. We review user ideas and feedback there on a regular basis to improve our services. Thanks again!

As others pointed out, you can find information about the new Bing Image API here: https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/bing-imag.... I cannot provide an official deprecation date yet, but here's a rough timeline: we will first announce the pricing plan for the new APIs in early-to-mid summer. We will then provide a notice to existing users of the old APIs to switch to the newer version within 6-12 months - note again that the dates are not final.

Hi all, I am a program manager in the Bing API team. I am providing some pointers for people that are interested. We released our latest Search APIs in March via the Microsoft Cognitive Services site. You can find them here: https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services. All APIs are currently offered for free with limited calls per month (for most APIs,the quota is 1,000 calls per month). We will announce soon a pricing plan if you want to extend the monthly quota.

Some folks mentioned this page: https://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/bing/search. I want to clarify that the page includes the old Bing Search APIs that are still in use, but will be deprecated in the future.
