URL

The bing source is designed to retrieve the content of direct URLs of various Bing pages. Instead of sending multiple parameters, you can provide us with a direct URL for the required Bing page. We do not strip any parameters or alter your URLs in any other way.

Request samples

In this example, we make a request to retrieve a result for the provided URL.

cURL

curl 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
--user 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
        "source": "bing",
        "url": "https://www.bing.com/search?q=nike"
    }'

Python

import requests
from pprint import pprint

# Structure payload.
payload = {
    'source': 'bing',
    'url': 'https://www.bing.com/search?q=nike'
}

# Get response.
response = requests.request(
    'POST',
    'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
    auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'),
    json=payload,
)

# Instead of response with job status and results url, this will return the
# JSON response with results.
pprint(response.json())

Node.js

const https = require("https");

const username = "USERNAME";
const password = "PASSWORD";
const body = {
    source: "bing",
    query: "https://www.bing.com/search?q=nike",
};

const options = {
    hostname: "realtime.oxylabs.io",
    path: "/v1/queries",
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        Authorization:
            "Basic " + Buffer.from(`${username}:${password}`).toString("base64"),
    },
};

const request = https.request(options, (response) => {
    let data = "";

    response.on("data", (chunk) => {
        data += chunk;
    });

    response.on("end", () => {
        const responseData = JSON.parse(data);
        console.log(JSON.stringify(responseData, null, 2));
    });
});

request.on("error", (error) => {
    console.error("Error:", error);
});

request.write(JSON.stringify(body));
request.end();
