SDKs at a glance

Getting started with Bing SDKs

For C#, both NuGet packages and SDKs are available for individual Bing offerings. C# samples are the best place to start with. Using NuGet packages, these samples offer a very simple and step-wise guide on running various application specific scenarios. It is possible to build an application on top of the samples that every Bing offering has got along with its respective NuGet package.

If you are looking for development in other languages, check out the Java samples, Node samples, and Python samples. They all fall under the MIT license and come with a simple step-by-step guide to begin with.

In case you are already using Bing REST APIs in your application, all you need to do is to give these SDKs a spin with the access keys that you already have. If you are just a beginner and wish to use Bing APIs, you can buy your subscriptions right away or simply start with the free access keys.
