URL

See how you can start scraping Bing URLs.

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 '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"
    }'

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())

    source: "bing",

    },
};

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

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