    What is going to happen to all the Live API urls, with a rebranding of Live search.  Will Live APIs now become Bing APIs? 
    Lovely Day for a Lonestar.

    Fear no danger.
    It would be crazy of us to require who developed on our API to rewrite their apps because we renamed the product.

    There will be new endpoints for the Bing API at api.bing.com, but all the endpoints that are working currently will continue to work (with no intention to change this).
