Setup guide

Step 1: Set up Bing Ads

1. Register your application in the Azure portal.
2. Request user consent to get the authorization code.
3. Use the authorization code to get a refresh token.

note

The refresh token expires in 90 days. Repeat the authorization process to get a new refresh token. The full authentication process described here. Please be sure to authenticate with the email (personal or work) that you used to sign in to the Bing ads/Microsoft ads platform.

4. Get your Microsoft developer token.
5. If your OAuth app has a custom tenant and you cannot use Microsoft’s recommended common tenant, use the custom tenant in the Tenant ID field when you set up the connector.

info

The tenant is used in the authentication URL, for example: https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize

All reports synced by this connector can be aggregated using hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly time windows.

For example, if you select a report with daily aggregation, the report will contain a row for each day for the duration of the report. Each row will indicate the number of impressions recorded on that day.

A report's aggregation window is indicated in its name. For example, account_performance_report_hourly is the Account Performance Reported aggregated using an hourly window.

The Bing Ads API limits the number of requests for all Microsoft Advertising clients. You can find detailed info here.
