## Overview

Real-Time Bing Search Data is a fast and reliable API for Microsoft Bing search results, fetched live at request time. It returns structured JSON via REST.

Who is this API for: developers building SEO and SERP research tools, rank tracking, news monitoring, AI / RAG pipelines that need live search results, price monitoring and product comparison, and local search apps.

What it returns: web search with organic results, Bing's estimated result count and related searches (first results page); news search sortable by date with time filters; image search with Bing's size, color, type, aspect ratio, people, time period, usage rights and safe search filters; video search with duration, time period, source site and safe search filters; shopping search with price sort and price range filters; full product details with photos, specifications, variants, review insights and every store offering the product; and maps search for local places by query or coordinates, with address, phone number, website, rating and opening status. Field names follow our Google search APIs where the concept matches.
