I wrote a function for retrieving search results from the new Microsoft Bing API, the old version stops working in August.
It’s up on GitHub.
Authorization
The new Bing Search API is now available on Windows Azure Marketplace. The PowerShell function is using the new v3 Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet and passes the encrypted Bing API Key in the header.
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $BingUrl -Headers @{Authorization=$s}
Bing Subscription
To try it out , register and get an API key. You can register for one that lets you do free searching.
