I'm trying to connect to Bing search api and have not been able to get the code to work. I've googled the problem and no working code can be found.
Here is my code:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
public class BSearch{
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//--------------------------------------Bing search------------------------------
String searchText = "barack";
searchText = searchText.replaceAll(" ", "%20");
String accountKey="MYACCOUNTKEY";
byte[] accountKeyBytes = Base64.encodeBase64((accountKey + ":" + accountKey).getBytes());
String accountKeyEnc = new String(accountKeyBytes);
URL url;
try {
url = new URL(
"https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/Search/v1/Web?Query=%27" + searchText + "%27&$top=50&$format=json");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + accountKeyEnc);
// conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
(conn.getInputStream())));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String output;
System.out.println("Output from Server .... \n");
while ((output = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(output);
System.out.println(output);
}
conn.disconnect();
} catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
This results in the following error:
