Bing Search API
The Bing Search API adds intelligent search to your app, combing hundreds of billions of web pages, images, videos, and news to provide you the relevant results with no ad requirements. The results can be automatically customized to your users' locations or markets, increasing relevancy by staying local.
Responses from the Bing Search API rank page results, including news, dictionary, computation, and time. Safe search levels are customizable for your users, keeping them from adult content if required. Finally, the API returns spelling suggestions for misspelled queries, and lists of related searches.
