Viewing Bing Search Results in RAD Studio Data Explorer

How to view Bing Search results in RAD Studio Data Explorer using the CData ODBC Driver for Bing Search.

最終更新日：2023-06-12

Embarcadero RAD Studio provides a development environment for Delphi and C++Builder applications. With the CData ODBC Driver for Bing Search, you gain access to live Bing Search results within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve Bing Search results. This article will walk through connecting to Bing Search using the Data Explorer.

Configure a Connection to Bing Search

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

Bing 接続プロパティの取得・設定方法

Bing に接続するには、ApiKey 接続プロパティを設定します。 API キーを取得するには、Microsoft Cognitive Services にサインインし、Bing Search API に登録します。

登録が完了すると、2つのキーが生成されます。いずれか1つをAPIKey に使用できます。

テーブルをクエリする際は、WHERE 句にSearchTerms パラメーラを指定する必要があります。

Connecting to Bing Search Results Using Data Explorer

You can create a simple application for displaying Bing Search results by utilizing the CData FireDAC Components for Bing Search and a new VCL Forms Application:

Open the Data Explorer in RAD Studio and expand FireDAC.
Right-click the ODBC Data Source node in the Data Explorer.
Click Add New Connection.
Enter a name for the connection.
In the FireDAC Connection Editor that appears, set the DataSource property to the name of the ODBC DSN for Bing Search.
Back in the Data Explorer, expand the views for the connection.
Create a new VCL Forms application and drag a view (for example: VideoSearch) onto the form.
Select the VideoSearchView object on the form and set the Active property to true.
Right-click on the object, bind visually, and link everything (*) to a new control (TStringGrid).
Arrange the TStringGrid on the form and run the application to see the VideoSearch data.
