Issue: We have been using https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v5.0/images/search? For many years now to grab images from Wikimedia, but since March 30th, we have started receiving inappropriate pictures and have received several support tickets.
How it was before:
We make an API call like this (site:commons.wikimedia.org
https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v5.0/images/search?q=london+site:commons.wikimedia.org&offset=0&mkt=en-us&safesearch=Moderate
And use to get these results:
But now we are getting this if you type London under Wikimedia library, for example, and that is just an example—a girl image.
What else I tried:
I tried https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/images/search?q=london+site: commons.wikimedia.org&offset=0&mkt=en-us&safesearch=Moderate
But I got the same result; I thought it was because of v5 vs v7, but no difference.
Below is the screenshot of the API call and image returned:
And image returned is this.
https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailv2&FORM=OIIRPO&q=london+site%3a+commons.wikimedia.org&id=FD049A873CD78621E81C663C9BB31F05C3B1FACE&simid=608022620603901825
I am in still the process of getting access of the main subscription but meanwhile I created this trial account so I can reach out for support it is an urgent matter for us
my other email to reach out: noor882@yahoo.com
Thanks Noor

I think something is wrong with the bing indexer that might be causing this.

2023-04-24T05:08:56.0933333+00:00 @noor ahmed You can create a feedback item through bing.com using the feedback prompt from the bottom of the page on the right hand side. This will create a feedback item to bing team and you should recieve an email after submission about the details. Thanks!!

2023-04-24T08:49:18.8166667+00:00 nevertheless, can it be fixed more quickly if I create a ticket through my primary subscription rather than just providing feedback because that doesn't guarantee a resolution?
