How to Scrape Bing Search Results (Free API + No-API Methods)

Bing is easier to scrape than Google and has a generous free API.

Bing Web Search API (Free Tier)

7,000 free searches/month via Azure:

async function bingSearch(query) {
  const url = `https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(query)}&count=10`;
  const res = await fetch(url, {
    headers: { "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": "YOUR_KEY" }
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  return data.webPages.value.map(r => ({
    title: r.name,
    url: r.url,
    snippet: r.snippet
  }));
}

No-API Alternative

Bing search results can also be parsed from HTML with Cheerio — less anti-bot than Google.

Why Bing Over Google

• Free tier: 7,000 searches/month (vs Google 100/day)
• Less aggressive bot detection
• Same result quality for most queries
• Easier HTML parsing if needed
