I am using the Bing Web Search API, and I am accessing the data when typing a query into the search bar I created. But I have not been able to get the data to display in my search results when submitting the search bar query. I am trying to access the elements in 'value' which is inside of 'webPages' as shown in the picture below: [search engine data]: https://i.sstatic.net/CRBjB.png
Bing Web Search: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/search-apis/bing-web-search/reference/endpoints
If anyone could help with a detailed response it would be greatly appreciated!

const useSearch = ( {searchTerm} ) => {
const [data, setData] = useState('');
useEffect(() => {
const fetchData = async () => {
if (!searchTerm) return;
try {
const response = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}`, {
headers: {
'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': API_KEY,
},
params: {
'q': `${searchTerm}`,
'count': 10,
'mkt': 'en-us',
},
});
setData(response.data.webPages.value);
// shows data from search bar
console.log(response.data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
}
};
fetchData();
}, [searchTerm]);
return data;
};
export default useSearch;
SearchResults.js:

const { data } = useSearch({ searchTerm: searchData });
return (

The data returned from useSearch needs to be an array in order for you to map it, so in your useSearch hook you need to only get the value array if you want to only render the results.
// in useSearch hook
// we only take the array of webpages value
// looking from your console.log screenshot
setData(response.data.webPages.value);
You are trying to map your searchData which is a string. In order for you to map the actual api data you would need to use the data returned from your useSearch hook
// this is the API data
// no need to destruct
const data = useSearch({ searchTerm: searchData });
// replace searchData with data
{data ? (
<ul>
{data.map((i) => (
<TileItems
key={i.id}
image={i.thumbnailUrl}
title={i.name}
description={i.snippet}
website={i.url}
/>
))}
</ul>
) : (
<p>Loading...</p>
)}
Lemme know if this fixes your problem
