Search User Accounts Code Example
This example demonstrates how to search for accounts that can be managed by the current authenticated user.
Tip
Use the language selector in the documentation header to choose C#, Java, Php, or Python.
To get access and refresh tokens for your Microsoft Advertising user and make your first service call using the Bing Ads API, see the Quick Start guide. You'll want to review the Get Started guide and walkthroughs for your preferred language e.g., C#, Java, Php, and Python.
Supporting files for C#, Java, Php, and Python examples are available at GitHub. You can clone each repository or repurpose snippets as needed.
