Bing Inline Videos API

When a Bing search contains inline videos, they are parsed and exist within the inline_videos object in the JSON output. Inline videos can contain title, link, thumbnail, duration, views, date, platform, and channel. A videocard object is returned when the inline video results contain a highlighted video, see examples for more information.
