🅱️ Bing Search Scraper

🚀 Pull Bing organic search results without paying for the official API. Country, language, and freshness filters. Pagination past 100 results per query. No API key, no quota negotiation.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-01 · 📊 8 fields per result · 🌍 50 countries · 🔄 paginated to 100+ · 🆓 free Bing data

The Bing Search Scraper runs an organic Bing search and returns the ranked results page with title, URL, snippet, displayed URL, and posted date. Each query paginates past the visible first 10 listings using rotating Apify residential proxies, so a single run can return 100 or more organic results without triggering anti-bot.

Bing reaches roughly a quarter of global desktop search and powers default search inside Microsoft Edge, Windows Copilot, and ChatGPT search. SEO teams and competitive analysts need Bing data to track rankings outside Google. The official Bing Search API was retired for new customers, leaving a real gap. This Actor is the cheapest path to clean Bing organic data with country, market, language, freshness, and safe-search filters.

📋 What the Bing Search Scraper does

Five filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🔍 Multi-query batches. Submit a list of queries, the Actor runs each as a separate search.
• 🌍 Country filter. 50-country enum routes each search through Bing's regional index.
• 🗣️ Language filter. ISO 639-1 codes set the result language preference.
• 📅 Freshness filter. Restrict to results from the last day, week, or month.
• 🔄 Pagination. Walks past the first page using &first= offsets and rotates proxies between pages.

Each row reports the originating query, rank position, full title, the Bing redirect URL, the displayed source URL Bing shows under the title, the snippet text, and any visible posted date.

💡 Why it matters: Google dominates the western SEO conversation but a quarter of all desktop searches happen on Bing. New AI-driven surfaces like Copilot and ChatGPT search rely on Bing's index. If you only track Google rankings you miss a sizable chunk of intent-driven traffic, especially in B2B and finance.

⚙️ Input

Input	Type	Default	Behavior
maxItems	integer	10	Results to return. Free plan caps at 10, paid plan at 1,000,000.
queries	array of strings	["apify scraper"]	One or more search queries. Each is run as a separate search.
country	string	"us"	Two-letter country code from a 50-country enum. Routes the search through that regional index.
language	string	"en"	Two-letter language code.
safeSearch	string	"moderate"	strict, moderate, or off.
freshness	string	empty	day, week, or month. Empty returns all-time results.

Example: 100 organic results for "web scraping" in the US.

{
    "maxItems": 100,
    "queries": ["web scraping"],
    "country": "us",
    "language": "en"
}

Example: this-week news for two queries in Germany.

{
    "maxItems": 60,
    "queries": ["KI Agenten", "Web Scraping API"],
    "country": "de",
    "language": "de",
    "freshness": "week"
}

⚠️ Good to Know: the url field returns Bing's tracking-redirect URL because that is what appears on the SERP. Follow the redirect or read the displayedUrl field for the source domain. Pagination beyond 60 results sometimes triggers proxy rotation; the Actor handles this automatically.
