Step-by-Step Setup Instructions
Sign In to Bing Webmaster Tools
Visit Bing Webmaster Tools (bing.com/webmasters) and sign in using your Microsoft, Google, or Facebook account. If your site is already verified in Google Search Console, you can import your verified domains with a single click.
Navigate to API Access Settings
Once inside your dashboard, locate the gear icon (Settings ⚙️) in the top-right corner. Under the settings menu, click on 'API Access' and select 'API Key'.
Generate & Copy Your API Key
Click 'Generate API Key' (or copy your existing key). This 32-character hexadecimal key grants programmatic access to submit URL batches directly to Microsoft Bing's indexing infrastructure.
Input into SearchOptiMark Bing Indexer
Open the SearchOptiMark Bing Indexer or All-in-One Indexer. Click 'Connect Bing Credentials', paste your API Key, and save. You can now submit batches of up to 10,000 URLs per day with real-time HTTP 200 receipt logging.
