Error using the code

[austinpowers]

Hi,
I am new user to python and I am apologizing before hand if my question is stupid but would love to learn what I am doing wrong. Thanks so much

I downloaded and installed the module but when I run the code, I get the error below

r = bingsearch.request("Python Software Foundation")

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 r = bingsearch.request("Python Software Foundation")

C:\Users\Documents\Python Scripts\bingsearch.py in request(query, *_params)
6 def request(query, *_params):
7 r = requests.get(URL % {'query': query}, auth=('', API_KEY))
----> 8 return r.json['d']['results']

TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getitem'

Seems there is a problem with the code. Maybe the Bing API has changed. Anyways, fix...

This is bingsearch.py, this is what it should be instead:

import urllib2
import requests

#URL = 'https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/SearchWeb/Web?Query=%(query)s&$top=50&$format=json'
URL = "https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/v1/Composite?Sources=%(source)s&Query=%(query)s&$top=50&$format=json"
API_KEY = 'SECRET_API_KEY'

def request(query, **params):
url = URL % {'source': urllib2.quote("'web'"),
'query': urllib2.quote("'"+query+"'")}
r = requests.get(url, auth=('', API_KEY))
return r.json()['d']['results']

And your first result will be in:
r = bingsearch.request("Python Software Foundation")
print r[0]['Web'][0]['Description']

Awesome, thanks for replying! Appreciate it!
