The subscription is not registered to create resources for the selected resource type.

Question

Probably a very common problem.

I wish to use the Bing Search API, as advertised here.

Following the documentation, I'm supposed to be able to simply create a Bing Search resource.

However when I do, I'm greeted with an inability to select pricing tier, and an error stating that my subscription is not registered to create resources for the selected resource type,

This is despite the fact that my subscription has Microsoft.Bing enabled,

Am I missing resource providers? Why does the official documentation seemingly not work?

Answer 1

Hello everyone, I do seem to have figured out the answer (at least for me).

It seems that when I am using a VPN, I get this error. I use a VPN at most times, but occasionally have to turn it off, which is why this problem disappeared from me, for seemingly no reason.

I really wish Microsoft would not 'partially' block my VPN, or at the very least add some proper error messages.

Hope this helps!

This issue has been confirmed solved by original poster without any action. Please let us know if you see same error.

Answer 3

I have the exact same issue. I am unable to create a Bing Search resource in any of my personal account subscriptions or job account subscriptions for that matter.

I have tried registering Bing resource provider and unregistering/registering again.

Is there perhaps some wider issue with setting up Bing Search resources in Azure at the moment?

Answer 4

I have the exact same issue after just signing up for an Azure account. Can't create a bing resource since there is nothing to choose from in the drop-down list on "Pricing tier".

Answer 5

Same issue. Tried everything, re-registering resource providers. Nothing works.
