The NewsSearch class (JSON special paste result) and getting the API key

For those of you who can't get the JSON response and don't want to scour the internet to get one, here is the entire NewsSearch class from the project files so you don't have to get that from a JSON:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace SoccerStats
{

    public class NewsSearch
    {
        public string _type { get; set; }
        public Instrumentation instrumentation { get; set; }
        public string readLink { get; set; }
        public int totalEstimatedMatches { get; set; }
        public Value[] value { get; set; }
    }

    public class Instrumentation
    {
        public string pingUrlBase { get; set; }
        public string pageLoadPingUrl { get; set; }
    }

    public class Value
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string url { get; set; }
        public string urlPingSuffix { get; set; }
        public Image image { get; set; }
        public string description { get; set; }
        public Provider[] provider { get; set; }
        public DateTime datePublished { get; set; }
        public string category { get; set; }
        public Clusteredarticle[] clusteredArticles { get; set; }
    }

    public class Image
    {
        public Thumbnail thumbnail { get; set; }
    }

    public class Thumbnail
    {
        public string contentUrl { get; set; }
        public int width { get; set; }
        public int height { get; set; }
    }

    public class Provider
    {
        public string _type { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
    }

    public class Clusteredarticle
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string url { get; set; }
        public string urlPingSuffix { get; set; }
        public string description { get; set; }
        public Provider1[] provider { get; set; }
        public object datePublished { get; set; }
        public string category { get; set; }
    }

    public class Provider1
    {
        public string _type { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
    }

}

Also to get the API key, go to the My APIs page: Go to your Azure account: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/try/cognitive-services/my-apis/ Click 'show all' Click 'Add' below the Bing Search APIs v7 Click the 'Search APIs' tab There you can get your API key for a 7 day free trial.

This part no longer works as Microsoft seems to have moved its Bing Search API out of its cognitive services. I had to sign in to portal.azure.com, search for "Bing" and click on Bing Search APIs v7, create a resource, at which time it asked me to sign up, and since I had previous used up their trial, I had to choose a Pay-As-You-Go plan, then I was able to create it as a resource, and then find my API keys under the "Keys and Endpoint" section of the Bing Resource that I had created. Not simple :(
