Basic API Requests

Maximize Bing's potential with minimal effort using our Bing Search API.

Harnessing the power of Bing has never been easier. Our Bing Search API is crafted to simplify the extraction process, enabling you to get real-time search results without delving into complexities. With just a GET request and a few essential parameters, you're set to retrieve data in a structured JSON format.

Here's how you can seamlessly interact with the Bing Search API:

api_key - This is your unique identifier, ensuring secure access to our services. engine - For Bing scraping, this should always be set to 'bing'. q - Represents your target keyword or search term. Constructing your request is a breeze. Here's a basic template:

https://serp.shifter.io/v1?engine=bing&api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&q=<KEYWORD>

The Bing API Integration Examples

curl --request GET --url "https://serp.shifter.io/v1?engine=bing&api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&q=shoes"

const http = require("https");

const options = {
  "method": "GET",
  "hostname": "serp.shifter.io",
  "port": null,
  "path": "/v1?engine=bing&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&q=shoes",
  "headers": {}
};

const req = http.request(options, function (res) {
  const chunks = [];

  res.on("data", function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  });

  res.on("end", function () {
    const body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
    console.log(body.toString());
  });
});

req.end();

import requests

PARAMS = {
    "api_key":API_KEY,
