Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Bing Search Scraper Extract organic search results from Bing for any query.

No. The scraper works without proxy by default. Enable proxy only if you experience rate limiting on high-volume runs. #### What markets are supported? Bing supports 40+ market codes. Common ones: en-US, en-GB, fr-FR, de-DE, es-ES, it-IT, ja-JP, pt-BR, zh-CN, ko-KR, nl-NL, ru-RU, ar-SA. #### How many results can I get? Up to 100 results per query with automatic pagination (10 results per page). # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): List of search queries to look up on Bing. ## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of results per query. ## `market` (type: `string`): Bing market code for localized results (e.g., 'en-US', 'fr-FR', 'de-DE'). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy config. Works without proxy by default. ## Actor input object example ```json { "queries": [ "food in NYC" ], "maxResultsPerQuery": 5, "market": "en-US", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "queries": [ "food in NYC" ], "maxResultsPerQuery": 5, "market": "en-US" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/bing-search-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
