Bingsearch7 API

Node.js lib for the Microsoft Cognitive Services Bing Web Search API

A fork of node-bing-api by goferito

All I did was change the endpoint URL to 7.0

Installation

npm install bingsearch7-api

Usage

Require the library and initialize it with your account key:

var Bing = require('bingsearch7-api')({ accKey: "your-account-key" });

Promises

This API provdes callbacks by default, but users of node 8 and newer can make the library return Promises with util.promisify(). For example, to use Bing.web:

var util = require('util'),
  Bing = require('node-bing-api')({ accKey: 'someKey' }),
  searchBing = util.promisify(Bing.web.bind(Bing));

Web Search (same as Composite):

Bing.web("Pizza", {
    count: 10,  // Number of results (max 50)
    offset: 3   // Skip first 3 results
  }, function(error, res, body){

    // body has more useful information besides web pages
    // (image search, related search, news, videos)
    // but for this example we are just
    // printing the first two web page results
    console.log(body.webPages.value[0]);
    console.log(body.webPages.value[1]);
  });

Composite Search (same as Web):

Bing.composite("Playstation 4 Pro", {
    count: 10,  // Number of results (max 15 for news, max 50 if other)
    offset: 3   // Skip first 3 results
  }, function(error, res, body){
    console.log(body.news);
  });

News Search:

Bing.news("Anonymous", {
    count: 10,  // Number of results (max 15)
    offset: 3   // Skip first 3 results
  }, function(error, res, body){
    console.log(body);
  });

Video Search:

Bing.video("monkey vs frog", {
    count: 10,  // Number of results (max 50)
    offset: 3   // Skip first 3 result
  }, function(error, res, body){
    console.log(body);
  });

Images Search:

Bing.images("Ninja Turtles", {
  count: 15,   // Number of results (max 50)
  offset: 3    // Skip first 3 result
  }, function(error, res, body){
    console.log(body);
  });

Related Search (same as Web):

Bing.relatedSearch('berlin'
, { market: 'en-US' }
, (err, res, body) => {
    const suggestions = body.relatedSearches.value.map(r => r.displayText)
    console.log(suggestions.join('\n'))
  })

Spelling Suggestions:

Bing.spelling('awsome spell', function (err, res, body) {
  console.log(body.flaggedTokens.suggestions[0].suggestion); //awesome spell
});

Web Only API Subscriptions

To use this library with a web only subscription, you can require and initialize it with an alternate root url:

var Bing = require('node-bing-api')
            ({
              accKey: "your-account-key",
              rootUri: "https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/SearchWeb/v1/"
            });

Running Tests

In order to run the tests, the integration tests require to create a secrets.js file from the provided secrets.js.example example, and fill it in with a valid access key.

Then just mocha.
