🚀 Bing Maps Scraper: Bing Maps API for Business Listings and Leads

Export Bing Maps business listings as clean JSON, CSV or Excel: the name, address, phone, website, star rating, review count, category and GPS coordinates of every place a search returns. The Bing Maps Scraper works as a simple Bing Maps API alternative for local business data: type a search like "dentists in Chicago" and get the places Bing Maps lists. No API key, no Bing Maps developer account.

🎯 Use Cases

• Local lead generation: build lists of restaurants, plumbers, dentists or agencies in a city, with phone numbers and websites.
• Second source next to Google Maps: Bing Maps (fed by Bing Places) often lists businesses differently; merge both to fill gaps.
• Local SEO audits: check how a business and its competitors appear on Bing Maps, with ratings and review counts.
• Market research: count businesses by category and area, and map them with the coordinates.
• Data enrichment: match your CRM records against Bing Maps names, addresses and phones.

✨ Features

• Contact data: business name, full address, phone number and website.
• Reputation: star rating and review count.
• Category and location: Bing's business category plus latitude and longitude.
• Stable place ID: every row carries Bing's placeId, so you can dedupe across runs.
• No duplicates: Bing repeats places across result pages; each place is saved once.
• Fair billing: you pay per saved place, and the run stops at your maximum cost per run.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter a search the way you would on Bing Maps: Restaurants near New York, NY or dentists in Austin, TX (empty = an example search).
2. Set Max results (default 100).
3. Run the scraper and download the places, or read them through the Apify API.

⚙️ Input

Field	What it does	Default
Search (search)	A Bing Maps query: business type plus location.	example search
Max results (maxResults)	How many places to save.	100

{
    "search": "dentists in Austin, TX",
    "maxResults": 100
}

Bing Maps lists a limited set per query, often 40–60 unique places. The run stops when Bing starts repeating places, so a broad query can end below Max results; for more, run narrower queries (by neighborhood, zip code or sub-category).

💰 Pricing

Pay only for the places you get. No monthly rental.

Event	Price	What you get
Place	$0.0025 per place ($2.50 per 1,000)	One place with all fields below
Actor start	$0.00005 per run	Charged once when the run starts.

Examples: one search of 50 places = $0.125 · 20 neighborhood searches × 50 places = $2.50 · 1,000 places = $2.50.

📊 Sample Output Data

{
    "name": "Jack's Wife Freda",
    "placeId": "ypid:YNA0E925EF74C669F",
    "address": "226 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10012",
    "phone": "(212) 510-8550",
    "website": "https://jackswifefreda.com/",
    "rating": 4,
    "reviewCount": 2728,
    "category": "Mediterranean restaurant",
    "latitude": 40.722328186035156,
    "longitude": -73.99747467041016
}

placeId is Bing's own ID for the place. rating is the Bing Maps star rating and reviewCount the number of reviews behind it. A few places list no phone or website; those fields are then missing from the row.

🔁 Schedule and Integrate

For lead lists, run one search per city or neighborhood and merge the datasets on placeId. To watch a market, schedule the same searches weekly with Apify Schedules and compare new places and rating changes. Send the results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n, a CRM or your own webhook through Apify integrations.

🤖 Use with AI Agents (MCP)

{ "search": "coffee shops in Seattle, WA", "maxResults": 30 }

❓ FAQ

Does Bing Maps have an official API? Microsoft offers the Bing Maps / Azure Maps APIs for developers, with an account, a key, usage limits and paid tiers, and their search APIs return locations rather than the listing data shown on Bing Maps. This scraper gives you the business listings Bing Maps shows, with phones, websites, ratings and review counts, without a key or developer account.

Is this the same data as Bing Places? Bing Places for Business is where owners manage their listings; Bing Maps shows those listings to searchers. The scraper reads what Bing Maps publicly shows for your search.

Why did I get fewer places than Max results? Bing Maps returns a limited list per query and then repeats places. Split a city into neighborhoods, zip codes or sub-categories to collect more.

Do I need a Microsoft account or proxies? No. Everything comes from public Bing Maps search results.

Why is a phone or website missing? The business did not list one on Bing Maps. Those keys are then left out of the row.

Can I search outside the US? Yes. Put the location in the query, e.g. restaurants in Berlin or hotels in Lisbon.
