## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Bing Keyword Suggestions Scraper 🔎

**Turn one seed keyword into hundreds of real Bing autocomplete suggestions — with A-Z alphabet expansion — for fast, cheap SEO keyword research. No API key required.**

This Apify Actor taps Bing's public autocomplete (OpenSearch) endpoint the same way the search box does, so you get the exact long-tail phrases real people type. Feed it seed keywords, pick a market, and export a clean keyword list to CSV, Excel, JSON, or Google Sheets.

***

### ✨ Why this scraper

- **No API key, no login.** Pulls straight from Bing's public suggestion endpoint.
- **Datacenter-proxy friendly.** Cheap to run — no residential proxies needed.
- **A-Z alphabet expansion (USP).** Each seed is also queried as `seed a` … `seed z`, unlocking hundreds of long-tail keywords a single query would never show.
- **Multi-market.** `en-US`, `en-GB`, `de-DE`, `fr-FR`, `es-ES` and more.
- **Deduplicated & ranked.** Every keyword is unique per seed and carries its suggestion rank.
- **Predictable cost.** `maxItems` cap keeps every run bounded.

### 💡 Use cases

- **SEO keyword research** — discover the long-tail terms Bing users actually search.
- **PPC / Bing Ads** — build broad keyword and negative-keyword lists.
- **Content ideation** — turn "how / best / vs / near me" variants into article ideas.
- **SERP research** — map demand and intent around a topic before you write.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

Scraping mode. 'suggest' takes your seed keywords and returns Bing autocomplete suggestions, optionally expanded across the A-Z alphabet for deeper long-tail discovery.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

One or more seed keywords or phrases to expand. Each seed is sent to Bing autocomplete; with A-Z expansion enabled, 'seed a' through 'seed z' are also queried for maximum long-tail coverage.

## `market` (type: `string`):

Bing market/locale code that controls language and regional suggestions, e.g. 'en-US', 'en-GB', 'de-DE', 'fr-FR', 'es-ES'. Defaults to 'en-US'.

## `alphabetExpansion` (type: `boolean`):

When on, each seed is also queried as 'seed a', 'seed b', ... 'seed z' to surface hundreds of extra long-tail keywords. Turn off for a quick, cheap run that only fetches direct suggestions.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of unique suggestion rows to output. Keeps runs cheap and predictable. Default 500, hard cap 5000.
