How to scrape Bing
Bing is a website where you can search and browse listings. Developers typically collect search results and listing data from its public pages.
Ujeebu scrapes any public website. Not listed here? Try any URL in the Playground or ask us about a site.
33 of 33 of our checks passed in the last 7 days (100%).
Last check 2026-11-04 06:36 UTC · last pass 2026-11-04 06:36 UTC · checked with our own requests, never customer data.
Recipe one call
Use the Bing recipe: send the URL, get JSON
curl -G 'https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape' \
-H "ApiKey: $UJEEBU_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode 'url=https://www.bing.com/search?q=how+to+bake+bread&setlang=en' \
--data-urlencode 'recipe=bing'
The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields of the recipe. Billed like any /scrape call: successful responses cost credits; blocked, timed-out and failed requests are free.

Recipe
Call the recipe by name with the recipe parameter: the Scrape API applies its extract rules and the settings that work on Bing. Each recipe was run on two real Bing pages and keeps only the fields that came back on both; it is checked again every week, and hidden if it stops working.
Search and listing pages
Validated 2026-10-30One call: recipe=bing 5 credits (JS) a page
curl -G 'https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape' \
-H "ApiKey: $UJEEBU_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode 'url=https://www.bing.com/search?q=how+to+bake+bread&setlang=en' \
--data-urlencode 'recipe=bing'
The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields below; the Ujb-Recipe header names the version (for example bing/listing@v1) and Ujb-Credits the cost.
What this recipe extracts
| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
results | list of 3+ items | |
results[].title | text | How to Bake Bread | King Arthur Baking |
results[].url | URL | https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=23c0738734c1d9bb466d663912285385b753... |

extract_rules (1 rule): the rules behind the recipe
The API applies these rules and the settings js=true for you when you send recipe=bing. To change what comes back, send your own extract_rules (they replace the recipe's) or any setting (yours always win). Sites without a recipe work the same way with extract rules.
{
"results": {
"selector": "li.b_algo",
"type": "obj",
"multiple": true,
"children": {
"title": {
"selector": "h2 a",
"type": "text"
},
"url": {
"selector": "h2 a",
"type": "link"
}
}
}
}
Code
Complete scripts: set the UJEEBU_API_KEY environment variable and run them as they are. Each one calls the recipe by name (the Go SDK has no recipe field, so the Go script sends the recipe's rules and settings itself), prints the extracted JSON, and prints the credits the request cost (the Ujb-Credits response header) on stderr. A non-200 answer stops the script with the API's error message.
Search and listing pages
Pages through 3 result pages, one at a time, and stops early when a page has no results.

SDK tabs use the official Ujeebu SDKs (ujeebu-python 0.1.5, @ujeebu-org/ujeebu-sdk 0.1.2, github.com/ujeebu/ujeebu-go v0.1.8); there is no PHP SDK, so the PHP tab calls the API with curl. For agents and scripts, the same status and settings are at /scrape/bing.json.

URL patterns and pagination
What the URLs look like, read from the pages our checks fetched.
Search and listing pages
- Search or listing URL
https://www.bing.com/search?q={query}&setlang=en- Next pages
- set
firstto 11, 22 and so on (steps of 11). Page 2:https://www.bing.com/search?q=how+to+bake+bread&setlang=en&first=11 - Validated on
https://www.bing.com/search?q=how+to+bake+bread&setlang=enhttps://www.bing.com/search?q=python+tutorial&setlang=en
Settings that work today
From our health checks over the last 7 days: the cheapest settings that return the real page most of the time.
| Endpoint | /scrape |
|---|---|
js | true |
wait_for | 8000 |
| Cost | up to 5 credits a request |
| Learned | js + wait 8000 (found by our retry layer) |
For search and listing pages, change the query or the page parameter in the URL to paginate, and fetch the pages one after another rather than in bursts. Our checks pass with JavaScript rendering on (js=true) and a wait of 8 seconds (wait_for=8000) before the snapshot: keep both. Start with the default (rotating) proxy, the cheapest one that passed most of its attempts in our checks.
Proxies we tried on Bing (1), attempts and passes over 7 days
| Proxy | Attempts | Passed |
|---|---|---|
| Default (rotating) | 34 | 33 |
Highlighted: the cheapest proxy that passes most of our checks of this site.
Troubleshooting
The failures our own checks of bing.com ran into over the last 7 days, and what got the page in the same check.
| What happened | Times | What fixed it |
|---|---|---|
| A different page than expected | 1 | A retry with wait_for=8000 got the page (1 of 1).

What people build with Bing data
- Research datasetsBuild datasets of public pages for analysis, search or LLM pipelines.More on this use case
Limits and etiquette
- Public pages only. Pages behind a login, and data shown only to signed-in users, are out of scope.
- Keep the rate modest: fetch pages one after another or with low concurrency, and cache what you already have.
- robots.txt of www.bing.com (read 2026-11-04): public pages asked to stay away (Disallow: /search); no crawl delay set.
- Read Bing's terms of service before you collect data at scale, and do not collect personal data you have no basis to process. This guide is not legal advice.
Questions
Can you scrape Bing with Ujeebu?
Yes. 33 of 33 checks of public Bing pages passed in the last 7 days with the settings on this page.
Which settings work for Bing?
Call /scrape with js=true, wait_for=8000. On the default (rotating) proxy, 33 of 34 attempts passed in the last 7 days. Our retry layer found that this site needs "js + wait 8000".
How many credits does a Bing request cost?
With these settings a request costs up to 5 credits. Only responses with HTTP 200 or 404 are billed: a blocked or timed-out request is free.
Which fields can I extract from Bing?
With the extraction recipes on this page, validated on real Bing pages through our API: search and listing pages: title, url. Pass the recipe as extract_rules in a POST to /scrape and the API returns those fields as JSON.
Is it allowed to scrape Bing?
Its robots.txt asks generic crawlers to stay away from public pages (Disallow: /search). Collect public pages only, read Bing's terms of service, keep your request rate modest and do not collect personal data you have no basis to process. This is not legal advice.
How fresh is this page?
The status and settings come from our own health checks of bing.com, which run around the clock. Last check: 2026-11-04 06:36:05 UTC; last pass: 2026-11-04 06:36:05 UTC.
