How to use

Create a Cognitive Services Bing Search Account

  const msRestAzure = require('ms-rest-azure');
  const CognitiveServicesManagement = require("azure-arm-cognitiveservices");
  let client;
  let createAccount = msRestAzure.interactiveLogin().then((credentials) => {
    client = new CognitiveServicesManagement(credentials, suite.subscriptionId);
    return client.accounts.create('groupname', 'accountname', {
      sku: {
        name: "S1"
      },
      kind: "Bing.Search",
      location: "westus",
      properties: {}
    });
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log('An error ocurred');
    console.dir(err, {depth: null, colors: true});
  });

List the keys from the created account

  let serviceKey;
  createAccount.then((result) => {
    return client.accounts.listKeys('groupname', 'accountname');
  }).then((result) => {
    serviceKey = result.key1;
    console.log(result.key2);
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log('An error ocurred');
    console.dir(err, {depth: null, colors: true});
  });

Create credentials

const CognitiveServicesCredentials = require('ms-rest-azure').CognitiveServicesCredentials;
let credentials = new CognitiveServicesCredentials(serviceKey);

Query the Entity Search API

const search = require('azure-cognitiveservices-search');

let entitySearchApiClient = new search.EntitySearchAPIClient(credentials);

entitySearchApiClient.entitiesOperations.search('seahawks').then((result) => {
 console.log(result.queryContext);
 console.log(result.entities.value);
 console.log(result.entities.value[0].description);
}).catch((err) => {
 throw err;
});

Query the Web Search API

const search = require('azure-cognitiveservices-search');
let webSearchApiClient = new search.WebSearchAPIClient(credentials);

webSearchAPIClient.web.search('seahawks').then((result) => {
 console.log(result.queryContext);
 console.log(result.images.value);
 console.log(result.webPages.value);
 console.log(result.news.value);
}).catch((err) => {
 throw err;
})
