🅱️ 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.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🔍 Why does the URL field look like a Bing tracking link?

The Actor returns the exact URL Bing renders in the result link, which is the click-tracking redirect. Follow it once to reach the actual destination, or read the displayedUrl field which shows the source domain Bing displays under the title.

🌍 Which countries are supported?

The country enum includes 50 codes covering all major Western markets, every G20 member, and most APAC and Latin America regions. If your specific country is missing, open a request and we'll add it.

📦 How many results can I get per query?

Up to 100 organic results per query in a typical run. Bing tightens anti-bot beyond that, but the Actor's proxy rotation extends past the default first-page cap.

🔄 Can I run multiple queries in one run?

Yes. The queries input is a string array. Rank position resets per query in the dataset.

📅 What does the freshness filter actually do?

It maps to Bing's &filters=ex1:"ez1_..." parameter. day returns last-24-hour content, week returns last-7-day content, month returns last-30-day content.

🛡️ Why does the Actor use a residential proxy?

Bing rate-limits aggressive scraping from datacenter IPs. Apify residential proxies route each page through a fresh consumer IP, which keeps the SERP HTML clean.

🤖 Are images, videos, and ads included?

No. This Actor focuses on the organic results list. Image, video, and ad blocks render under different selectors and are out of scope for v1.

💼 Can I use this for commercial work?

Yes. The Actor reads only what Bing publicly serves to any browser. Always honor each downstream site's terms of service when republishing snippets or titles.

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan?

The free plan returns up to 10 results per run. Paid plans return up to 1,000,000. Pay-per-event pricing means you only pay for the results returned.

⚠️ What if a run fails or returns thin results?

The Actor retries with proxy rotation when Bing returns a thin response. If a query genuinely has fewer than expected results, that reflects the SERP itself. Open a contact form and include the run URL if you suspect a bug.

🔁 How fresh is the data?

Live. Each run hits Bing at run time, so you get whatever the SERP shows right now.

⚖️ Is scraping Bing legal?

Reading public SERP HTML is widely accepted as fair use for SEO research. The Actor does not bypass paywalls, does not sign in, and respects per-page proxy rotation to avoid undue load.
