With Web Scraper API, you can scrape Bing search engine and parse search results. Below is an overview of the supported scrapers and their respective source values.
You can always write your own parsing instructions with Custom Parser feature and get structured data.
Getting started
Create your API user credentials: Sign up for a free trial or purchase the product in the Oxylabs dashboard to create your API user credentials (USERNAME and PASSWORD).
If you need more than one API user for your account, please contact ourcustomer support or message our 24/7 live chat support.
Request samples
In the example below, we make a request to retrieve Bing search results for the search term adidas.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Json;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace OxyApi
{
class Program
{
static async Task Main()
{
const string Username = "USERNAME";
const string Password = "PASSWORD";
var parameters = new {
source = "bing_search",
query = "adidas"
};
var client = new HttpClient();
Uri baseUri = new Uri("https://realtime.oxylabs.io");
client.BaseAddress = baseUri;
var requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "/v1/queries");
requestMessage.Content = JsonContent.Create(parameters);
var authenticationString = $"{Username}:{Password}";
var base64EncodedAuthenticationString = Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(authenticationString));
requestMessage.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + base64EncodedAuthenticationString);
var response = await client.SendAsync(requestMessage);
var contents = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Console.WriteLine(contents);
}
}
}
package org.example;
import okhttp3.*;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class Main implements Runnable {
private static final String AUTHORIZATION_HEADER = "Authorization";
public static final String USERNAME = "USERNAME";
public static final String PASSWORD = "PASSWORD";
public void run() {
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
jsonObject.put("source", "bing_search");
jsonObject.put("query", "adidas");
Authenticator authenticator = (route, response) -> {
String credential = Credentials.basic(USERNAME, PASSWORD);
return response
.request()
.newBuilder()
.header(AUTHORIZATION_HEADER, credential)
.build();
};
var client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.authenticator(authenticator)
.readTimeout(180, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.build();
var mediaType = MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8");
var body = RequestBody.create(jsonObject.toString(), mediaType);
var request = new Request.Builder()
.url("https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries")
.post(body)
.build();
try (var response = client.newCall(request).execute()) {
if (response.body() != null) {
try (var responseBody = response.body()) {
System.out.println(responseBody.string());
}
}
} catch (Exception exception) {
System.out.println("Error: " + exception.getMessage());
}
System.exit(0);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Thread(new Main()).start();
}
}
Optionally, you can include additional parameters such as geo_location, user_agent_type, parse, render and more to customize your scraping request. Read more:
