What was asked:
Stack Overflow #13660455 (accepted answer, 7 votes, 3 answers): I read the "Bing Search API - Quick Start" but I don't know how to make this http request in Ruby (Weary) How to translate "Stream_context_create()" in Ruby? And What does it mean? "Bing Search API - Quick Start" I would want to use a Ruby sdk but those I found are deprecated ex (Rbing) https://github.com/mikedemers/rbing Do you know a up-to-date Wrapper for Bing Search API (Web only results)?

What works:
[Chris Bui (accepted answer)]: Okay, after an hour of frustration I figured out a way to do it. This code is awful because it's the first version I got working. Basically, ignore everything about the base64 encode because it was giving me an error that only oAuth and basic authentication was supported. Turns out Microsoft's documentation was wrong and you're supposed to just use your account key as the password in the request instead of the encoded string. ``` require 'net/http' accountKey = 'KEY' url = 'https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/SearchWeb/v1/Web?Query=%27xbox%27&$top=50&$format=json' uri = URI(url) req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri) req.basic_auth '', accountKey res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, :use_ssl => uri.scheme == 'https'){|http| http.request(req) } puts res.body ```
