rbing's Issues

How do I specify the return result's language

Dear Sir:
I use your rbing api, and I want to know how do I specify the return result's language. I check the code, and try add "language:en" but it seems not work. I want to know if there is any way to specify the return result's language. Many
thanks.

Yours sincerely

Altered Query

This isn't so much a bug as a problem that I couldn't solve by myself and was hoping you'd be able to help with:

It seems that, contrary to the docs, the Bing API does not automatically alter a query when it is misspelled. This means that RBing::web("Dha Dkan", :site => 'imdb.com/title') returns no results while the equivalent query on the Bing site (http://www.bing.com/search?q=dha+dkan+site%3Aimdb.com%2Ftitle&qs=HS&form=QBLH&pq=dha+dkan&sc=8-8&sp=1&sk=) returns the correct result at the first position.

My question is now how I can get RBing to return the results to the altered query where appropriate. Can I somehow set the AlteredQuery property (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd250932.aspx) or is there some other way of accomplishing this?

[DEPRECATION] MultiJson.decode is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version. Use MultiJson.load instead.

 EDIT: Never mind, turns out httparty needed to be updated

Seeing this upon first launch of RBing

/httparty/parser.rb:116:in `json': [DEPRECATION] MultiJson.decode is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version. Use MultiJson.load instead.

uninitialized constant RBing

steps to reproduce error

gem install rbing

require 'rubygems' require 'rbing' bing = RBing.new("APPID")

doing so give me following error

    from /Users/bhushan/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p352/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in`gem_original_require'
    from /Users/bhushan/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p352/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'

rbing needs to be updated to support the new Bing API

From their migration doc, here are the changes that need to happen.

• query url needs to change to https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/
• and rbing could potentially support the new "web only" endpoint: https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/SearchWeb/
• the requested source (e.g. Web) needs to be appended to the endpoint
• the query needs to be converted to a urlencoded string on the URL
  • e.g. https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/Web?Query=%27Ruby%27
  • a full query with format: https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/Web?Query='Ruby'&$top=10&$skip=20&$format=json
• the full URI needs to be accessed with basic auth. Username is ignored (at one point in the docs they say just leave it blank, in a couple examples they use account key) and password is the new Bing API Account Key.

Add EnableHighlighting options

Good day! How to add EnableHighlighting options? I tried
rsp = bing.web("Ruby", :Market => "en-Us",:Options => ["EnableHighlighting"] , :offset => 1, :count => 1)
but it doesn't work

Error 1002: Parameter has invalid value

I am getting an error "Errors"=>[{"Code"=>1002, "Message"=>"Parameter has invalid value.", "Parameter"=>"SearchRequest.AppId", "Value"=>"--------------------------", "HelpUrl"=>"http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd251042.aspx"}] ", key blanked out. Any ideas?

My code is just like the example given.

require 'rubygems'
require 'rbing'

bing = RBing.new('aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa')
rsp = bing.web("tommy lee jones")
p rsp

Gem no longer available for install

... since github stopped building gems. Any plans to put it up on gemcutter.org?
