Search API

Bing Search API

Bing search results as JSON from one GET request: organic results, ads, related searches and People also ask questions. A light request is a plain fetch that answers in about half a second. 10 credits a search, and a failed search costs nothing.

Try a Bing search Full reference

Quick start

curl "https://api.webfetch.io/v1/bing?search=python+asyncio+tutorial" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer wfk_your_key"

JavaScript (npm install @tuxxin/webfetch)

const r = await client.bing('python asyncio tutorial');
r.organic_results[0].url;

Python (pip install webfetch-io)

r = client.bing("python asyncio tutorial")
r["organic_results"][0]["url"]

PHP (composer require tuxxin/webfetch)

$r = $client->bing('python asyncio tutorial');
$r['organic_results'][0]['url'];

Also served at https://webfetch.io/api/v1/bing . The key goes in the Authorization header, or in api_key. AI agents can run the same search with the MCP server's search_web tool.

How it works

  1. You send the query and the options below. The search goes out through our proxy network from the country you pick, never from our own servers.
  2. A light request for the first page is a plain HTTP fetch, about half a second, with the organic results; Bing shows its ads only to a browser. Regular requests, ads-only requests and later pages load in a real browser.
  3. If Bing answers with a bot check, the search is retried on another exit, up to three times within 90 seconds, and the exit that was blocked rests for a while.
  4. The page is read into JSON in a fixed shape: every key is present on every response, lists are ranked from position 1, and result links are the destination pages.
  5. A results page is billed, including one with no results. Anything else is not.

Parameters

Response

A real Bing search for "python asyncio tutorial" from US, first results only. Empty lists are always present, so a client never checks whether a key exists.

Ads only

With search_type=ads the response has the same keys, with the ads filled in and the other lists empty. Each ad has its position, its landing page in url, and Bing's click URL in tracking_url. A page with no ads returns empty lists. Same price as a full search.

Questions

Is it compatible with ScrapingBee?

ScrapingBee has no Bing endpoint. This one takes the parameters of their Google Search API and returns the same response shape, so code written for one works for the other.

What does a search cost?

10 credits for a light request (the default) and 15 for a regular one. An ads-only search costs the same. Credits come from your plan's monthly allowance, or from the free credit balance.

Do failed searches cost credits?

No. A search Bing blocks, one that times out, or one that returns a page that is not a results page is never billed. A blocked search is retried on another exit first, up to three times.

Which countries can I search from?

9 right now: United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Spain, United Kingdom. Set country_code; a country we cannot search from is refused rather than answered from somewhere else.

Why does it need the robots.txt opt-out?

Bing's robots.txt disallows automated access to its result pages, and webfetch honors robots.txt unless you turn the opt-out on in your key portal. Turning it on records your acceptance of the acceptable use policy. Paid plans turn it on themselves; free accounts request it in the key portal, and a person approves each request.
