Basic API Requests

We want to keep it as simple as possible on your end. That is why the Bing API is only available via GET requests and by passing the available parameters.

Using the Bing Search API is a straightforward process. You send a GET request to our SERP API and return real time results in a JSON format. In order to scrape Bing via our SERP API, you only need to pass three required parameters to your request:

• api_key - Your personal API key, used to authenticate your requests

• engine - always set to bing for this API

• q - The keyword you are targeting

The most basic URL example for an authorised request on our Bing API is:

https://serpapi.webscrapingapi.com/v1?engine=bing&api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&q=<KEYWORD>

Depending on your implementation, the q parameter's value should be URL encoded.

The Bing API Integration Examples

cURL

curl --request GET --url "https://serpapi.webscrapingapi.com/v1?engine=bing&api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&q=shoes"

NodeJS

const http = require("https");

const options = {
  "method": "GET",
  "hostname": "serpapi.webscrapingapi.com",
  "port": null,
  "path": "/v1?engine=bing&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=shoes",
  "headers": {}
};

const req = http.request(options, function (res) {
  const chunks = [];

  res.on("data", function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  });

  res.on("end", function () {
    const body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
    console.log(body.toString());
  });
});

req.end();

Python

import requests

API_KEY = '<YOUR_API_KEY>'
SCRAPER_URL = 'https://serpapi.webscrapingapi.com/v1'

PARAMS = {
    "api_key":API_KEY,
    "engine":"bing",
    "q":"shoes"
}

response = requests.get(SCRAPER_URL, params=PARAMS)

print(response.text)

PHP

<?php

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://serpapi.webscrapingapi.com/v1?engine=bing&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=shoes",
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
  echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
  echo $response;
}

Go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"io/ioutil"
)

func main() {

	url := "https://serpapi.webscrapingapi.com/v1?engine=bing&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=shoes"

	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)

	res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

	defer res.Body.Close()
	body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)

	fmt.Println(res)
	fmt.Println(string(body))

}

Java

HttpResponse<String> response = Unirest.get("https://serpapi.webscrapingapi.com/v1?engine=bing&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=shoes")
  .asString();

.NET

var client = new RestClient("https://serpapi.webscrapingapi.com/v1?engine=bing&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=shoes");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

Ruby

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'

url = URI("https://serpapi.webscrapingapi.com/v1?engine=bing&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=shoes")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body
