The APIs also allow the users to submit URLs, Sitemaps and other site details to Bing. This page introduces the online documentation and other resources that supports the use of Bing Webmaster APIs.

All applications follow a basic pattern when accessing a Bing Webmaster API using OAuth 2.0. First, the client application needs to register on Bing Webmaster portal to generate credentials (client ID and client secret).
