Submit a public image URL to Bing Visual Search and collect the subject Bing identifies, source pages, and image matches exposed on the result page.
Input
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
imageUrl | Direct public HTTP(S) image URL |
market | Bing market such as en-US or en-GB |
maxResults | Maximum unique records to store |
maxPages | Maximum Bing result pages to inspect |
maxRequestRetries | Retries for temporary browser and navigation failures |
navigationTimeoutSecs | Browser navigation timeout |
requestHandlerTimeoutSecs | Maximum time for image upload and result extraction |
imageDownloadTimeoutSecs | Input image download timeout |
maxImageBytes | Maximum downloaded input image size |
headless | Run Chrome without a visible window |
proxyConfiguration | Optional authorized Apify Proxy or custom proxy settings |
The complete input schema, including types, defaults, limits, and constraints, is in .actor/input_schema.json.
The Actor downloads and validates the image, opens Bing's public Visual Search page for the selected market, and submits the image bytes through Bing's upload control. The input URL's query string is not sent to Bing; searchImageUrl is stored without query parameters. It uses the page's identified search query to extract result cards and follows Bing outbound redirects to retain direct source-page URLs.
Output
Records use three resultType values:
identifiedObject: Bing's detected subject and its overview description when Bing exposes one.sourcePage: a source page returned in Bing's web results, including title, snippet, domain, date text, and any image URLs exposed on that card.visualMatch: an image match exposed in Bing's visual-search module, including the original image URL, thumbnail, dimensions, Bing image ID, and source page when available.
Every record includes the submitted image URL and byte metadata, detected query, market, canonical result URL, extraction method, page counts, timestamps, and nested search metadata. Relative or unavailable dates remain in publishedAtRaw; the Actor does not invent an absolute date. Visual-match source-page links are included only when the result card exposes a reliable association.
The visual-match module is surface-dependent. Source-page records remain available when Bing's headless result page does not render that module.
The full output field contract, types, and requiredness are defined in .actor/dataset_schema.json.
If a requested next results page is blocked, redirects away from Bing's result surface, or fails to render results, the run ends as failed. Valid records saved from earlier pages remain in the dataset.
A live output record is kept at samples/sample-record.json.
How to use
Provide a public image URL and market in the Apify Input tab, start the Actor, and inspect detected-object, source-page, and visual-match records in the Output dataset.
