Bing News Engine Results API
Our Bing News API allows you to scrape SERP results from a Bing News. The API is accessed through the following endpoint: /search?engine=bing_news.
A user may query the following: https://serpapi.com/search?engine=bing_news utilizing a GET request. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.
API Parameters
Geographic Location
mkt
Optional
The market where the results come from (e.g. en-US). Typically, mkt is the country where the user is making the request from. However, it could be a different country if the user is not located in a country where Bing delivers results. The market must be in the form <language code>-<country code>. For example, en-US. The string is case insensitive. For a list of possible market values, see Market Codes.
NOTE: If known, you are encouraged to always specify the market. Specifying the market helps Bing route the request and return an appropriate and optimal response. If you specify a market that is not listed in Market Codes, Bing uses a best fit market code based on an internal mapping that is subject to change.
This parameter and the cc query parameter are mutually exclusive—do not specify both.
Localization
cc
Optional
Parameter defines the country to search from. It follows the 2-character ISO_3166-1 format. (e.g., us for United States, de for Germany, gb for United Kingdom, etc.).
Pagination
Advanced Bing News Parameters
qft
Optional
Parameter defines results sorted by date. If the parameter is not set, it will default to the "Best match" sorting, otherwise, if set to: e.g. interval="4", it will show results from the past hour. Other options are:interval="7": Past 24 hours,interval="8": Past 7 days,interval="9": Past 30 days,sortbydate="1": Most Recent
Serpapi Parameters
device
Optional
Parameter defines the device to use to get the results. It can be set to desktop (default) to use a regular browser, tablet to use a tablet browser (currently using iPads), or mobile to use a mobile browser (currently using iPhones).
no_cache
Optional
Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the Bing News results even if a cached version is already present. A cache is served only if the query and all parameters are exactly the same. Cache expires after 1h. Cached searches are free, and are not counted towards your searches per month. It can be set to false (default) to allow results from the cache, or true to disallow results from the cache. no_cache and async parameters should not be used together.
async
Optional
Parameter defines the way you want to submit your search to SerpApi. It can be set to false (default) to open an HTTP connection and keep it open until you got your search results, or true to just submit your search to SerpApi and retrieve them later. In this case, you'll need to use our Searches Archive API to retrieve your results. async and no_cache parameters should not be used together. async should not be used on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.
zero_trace
Optional
Enterprise only. Parameter enables ZeroTrace mode. It can be set to false (default) or true. Enable this mode to skip storing search parameters, search files, and search metadata on our servers. This may make debugging more difficult.
API Results
JSON Results
JSON output includes structured data for Organic Results.
A search status is accessible through search_metadata.status. It flows this way: Processing -> Success || Error. If a search has failed, error will contain an error message. search_metadata.id is the search ID inside SerpApi.
HTML Results
HTML output is useful to debug JSON results or support features not supported yet by SerpApi.
HTML output gives you the raw HTML results from Bing News.
