Bing Local Pack API
For some requests, Bing search includes local results, called local pack, and a local map. SerpApi is able to scrape, extract, and make sense of this information.
When SerpApi encounters a local map and/or local results, we add them to our JSON output. From the local_map, we are able to extract link, gps_coordinates and image information. From the local_results, we are able to extract position title, reviews, price, address, hours, thumbnail, gps_coordinates, place_id and more.
