Getting an AppID

The AppID parameter is a value that enables the API to validate that a request is from a registered Bing application developer.

Getting an AppID is a straightforward process. First, go to the Bing Developer Center and sign in with your Windows Live ID. After signing in, you will be presented with a link to create a new AppID. Click the link, then supply basic information about your application and review the Terms of Use. (For more information, see Appendix: Terms of Use Overview.) After you have supplied the information and reviewed the Terms of Use, you will be presented with an AppID.
