Bing News Scraper

Scrape Bing News by keyword and get headlines, publishers, publish dates, snippets, and the direct publisher article URL for every result. Run many queries at once, in any Bing market and language. $1.00 per 1,000 results. No API key, no login, no browser.

Microsoft retired the Bing News Search API. This Bing News Scraper reads the public Bing News search RSS feed for each of your queries and returns one clean row per article. Unlike Google News, Bing links carry the real article address, so every row includes articleUrl, the publisher's own URL, ready to open, store, or pass to a content crawler.

What can this Bing News Scraper do?

• Scrape Bing News in bulk: run 1 to 1,000 search queries in one run.
• Get direct article URLs: articleUrl is decoded from the Bing link, so you get https://www.politico.com/news/... instead of a redirect.
• Pick any Bing market: set language and geo to search en-US, en-GB, de-DE, fr-FR, es-ES, ja-JP, and other markets.
• Remove duplicates: the same story returned by several queries is kept once.
• Export anywhere: JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, the Apify API, n8n, Make, Zapier, webhooks, and MCP for AI agents.

Use it for brand and competitor monitoring, PR and crisis alerts, market and ticker news, journalist beat sweeps, SEO and content research, and AI or RAG news pipelines. Pair it with Google News results to compare coverage across search engines.

HTTP (one call, returns the articles):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/groupoject~bing-news-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?timeout=120&maxTotalChargeUsd=0.10" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"queries":["openai","nvidia"],"geo":"US","language":"en"}'

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("groupoject/bing-news-scraper").call(run_input={
    "queries": ["tesla recall", "rivian"],
    "geo": "US",
    "language": "en",
})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row["source"], row["title"], row["articleUrl"])

No-code and agents: connect the Actor in n8n, Make, or Zapier, add a webhook to a saved task, or call it as a tool from the Apify MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor.

FAQ

How many results do I get per query?

Bing's news feed returns about 10 of the most relevant recent articles per query. To cover a topic more widely, add more specific queries (company names, product names, people, tickers). maxItemsPerQuery is an upper limit, not a guaranteed count.

Why use Bing News instead of Google News?

Bing gives you the direct publisher URL for every article and often surfaces different publishers, including MSN syndication. Many teams run both and compare coverage. For Google News, use our Google News Scraper.

Is scraping Bing News legal?

The scraper reads Bing's public news feed: headlines, publishers, dates, snippets, and links. It does not log in or bypass paywalls, and it does not copy full articles. You are responsible for how you use and republish the data; check Bing's terms and ask a lawyer if in doubt.

Do I get the full article text?

No. You get the headline, snippet, publisher, date, and the article URL. Send articleUrl to a web content crawler if you need full text.

Do I need a proxy?

Normal runs work without one. Enable Apify Proxy for large or frequent scheduled runs.

Why is a query missing from the results?

Check ERRORS in the run's key-value store. A query with no recent Bing News coverage returns no rows, so it adds no result charges.
