Can't get location from Bing Map API

Question

I'm using Bing Map API to get latitude and longitude from address

https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?q=100+Somerset+St+New+Brunswick+NJ+08901&key={BingKey}

Got "authenticationResultCode":"ValidCredentials" latitude and longitude as 40.486216,-74.451819. But, when I use the same Bing MAP API key to get my Location detail from the lat and long, I get

https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/locationrecog/40.486216,-74.451819?key={BingKey}&output=json

Getting InvalidCredentials

{"authenticationResultCode":"InvalidCredentials","brandLogoUri":"https:\/\/dev.virtualearth.net\/Branding\/logo_powered_by.png","copyright":"Copyright © 2024 Microsoft and its suppliers. All rights reserved. This API cannot be accessed and the content and any results may not be used, reproduced or transmitted in any manner without express written permission from Microsoft Corporation.","errorDetails":["Access was denied.

What wrong am I doing here. Any help please.

Double-check your BingKey value; run both URLs through a parser and make sure the key query string value is the same for both. Otherwise contact support — Phil

I tried the query you provided and it worked fine with my key. Double check the key in your URL, very easy to forget a character when copy/pasting (that's got me many times over the years).
