Trouble finding Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key for Azure Bing News

Question

I am trying to create a successful request using Azure's Bing News API. The below screenshot from the docs says that the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key is a required header. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/cognitiveservices-bingsearch/bing-news-api-v7-reference

I've made an account and according to this post Issue in accessing Bing Custom Web Search API v7 the key is found in the Bing Resource -> Keys & Endpoints:

I've tried both keys and neither work. I receive error code 401 Access denied due to Invalid subscription key or wrong API endpoint. I noticed that the endpoint featured in this picture is different from the endpoints listed in the bing new docs. I tried the endpoint listed in the picture (just to see) and I got a 404 error.

Another thread says to go to the API Management on the Azure portal. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/62385/please-help-me-to-find-the-process-to-get-ampampam.html

Upon navigating to API Management menu it read "No API Management services to display". I can "Create API Management" but the subsequent forms asks for information that seems atypical to gain access to an API. Is this really where the key is created or am I doing something else wrong? Thank you.

Here is my code. I tried on Postman and ran into the same error.

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

function testFetch(){



let response = fetch("https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/news/trendingtopics", {
headers: {
    "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": <redacted-key>,
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
}).then(async response => {
  try {
   const data = await response.json()
   console.log('response data?', data)
 } catch(error) {
   console.log('Error happened here!')
   console.error(error)
 }
})


 }

 testFetch()

Please use the following endpoint BING_HOST = "https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/news/search" and find the below snapshot for the same.

Please follow the below documentation for bing news search.
