 * Hi there, everyone! 🙂
 * Taking into consideration the fact that [this post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bing-url-submissions-plugin/)
   is 1 year and 3 months old, I would like to ask 2 questions:
    - Should I have both plugins installed in my site, this one and **[Bing URL Submissions Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bing-webmaster-tools/)**?
    - If I’ve already set my Bing’s API key within the **Bing URL Submissions Plugin**,
      do I need still to host my API Key within a TXT file at my site’s root directory?
    - [Follow-up question] If so, which API Key should I use? I mean, is there a
      specific IndexNow API key that I’ve got to generate somewhere?
 * Thanks a lot!
 * Cheers!
