Bing Webmaster Tools (BWT)

Current Situation:

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't Bing data match the dashboard?

Microsoft's Bing Webmaster Tools API (public) stopped updating in 2024, while their dashboard UI (internal) continues to show current data. SeCoFlow uses the public API, which is frozen at 2024. This is a known limitation affecting all tools that use Bing's public API.

Can I export data from SeCoFlow?

Yes! You can export:

• Search performance data to CSV

• Bing: Not updating (API frozen at 2024)
• AI Search: TBD when available

Is my data secure?
