Insufficient documentation of Bing Visual Search API for barcode detection

Question

Goodnight comunity,

I found that Bing Visual Search API presentation page offers barcode identification but I could't find documentation (in Azure wide documentation ocean) about how to use that functionality.

Does anyone know where I can find information about it (API references, examples or whatever)?

Regards,
Gonzalo

Answer 1

@Gonzalo Ré You can use the documentation from Bing with this HTML sample to quickly test the scenario.
However, the sample needs the baseUri variable to be updated to the following on line 142.

https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/images/visualsearch?mkt=${market}&safesearch=${safeSearch}  

The response from API will basically identify the image as a barcode or any other object that is part of the uploaded image.

You can also use other QuickStart's in the documentation to use the JSON response directly from the API in your application.

@romungi-MSFT thank you for your answer. I affair I get always an error 200 and I can't get information about the error. There is a way to get information of connections tries?
