Web API Not Connecting

Hello,

 

I am currently trying to use Bing Maps REST API to tell if the addresses within my company are valid or not, and I had it working correctly up until today. My API Key expired and I had created a new one in the same way as the old key, and had replaced it within my Power Query, but I currently cannot authenticate the key, even though nothing changed except for the key.

 

This is my current function in Power Query to test each address against the Bing Maps database:

Within my query with addresses, I add a custom column to test whether the address returns an error or not, and this is the formula for that column:

 

Custom = try PointLookup2(Text.Replace([Address], "&", " and "))

 

 

I have tried authenticating the API via the "Web API" option and pasting my key in the "Key" space, it cannot verify my key, and I have seen in other posts to paste the key into the "Username" section in the "Basic" section, but that will not verify my key as well.

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
