API and agents

This actor can be run through Apify API, datasets, webhooks, schedules, and the official Apify MCP server.

How this actor works

See example inputs, outputs, API usage, and practical limits before running this actor on Apify.

Open Apify page

Export ranked Bing organic search results from keywords or direct Bing SERP URLs.

Use this actor when you need a repeatable CSV, JSON, Excel, or API export of Bing result pages for SEO research, market monitoring, competitive tracking, lead discovery, or search-data pipelines.

At a glance

  • Input: Bing search queries or direct Bing search URLs.
  • Output: Ranked organic results with title, URL, snippet, display URL, cached URL, sitelinks, related searches, market, language, and scrape time.
  • Localization: Set Bing market, language, and SafeSearch.
  • Best for: Bing SERP exports, keyword monitoring, search result audits, and API workflows.
  • Proxy optional: Start without proxy for low-cost tests; enable Apify Proxy only if Bing throttles direct requests.

What can it do?

  • Export Bing search results: Save organic ranks, titles, links, snippets, and display URLs.
  • Track keyword positions: Collect repeatable ranked result rows for the same query over time.
  • Research related searches: Capture Bing related-search suggestions when available.
  • Use direct SERP URLs: Run from an existing Bing URL when you already have query parameters.
  • Use as a Bing Search API alternative: Run from the Apify UI, API, schedules, webhooks, or the official Apify MCP server.

Common workflows

  • SEO monitoring: Track where domains, competitors, and articles appear in Bing search results.
  • Market research: Export result pages for categories, vendors, products, or regional searches.
  • Lead discovery: Find public websites ranking for a topic and enrich them downstream.
  • SERP archiving: Keep dated snapshots of result titles, snippets, and URLs.
  • Automation: Feed ranked results into spreadsheets, dashboards, or a custom database.

Input example

{
  "queries": ["apify web scraping", "open source crawlee"],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 10,
  "market": "en-US",
  "language": "en",
  "safeSearch": "Moderate",
  "includeRelatedSearches": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

Output example

{
  "query": "apify web scraping",
  "position": 1,
  "page": 1,
  "title": "Apify: Full-stack web scraping and browser automation platform",
  "url": "https://apify.com/",
  "displayUrl": "apify.com",
  "snippet": "Apify is a cloud platform for web scraping...",
  "cachedUrl": null,
  "sitelinks": [],
  "relatedSearches": ["apify actors", "crawlee"],
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-03T10:00:00.000Z"
}

Tips for best results

  • Start with maxResultsPerQuery set to 10-20 before scaling to larger exports.
  • Use startUrls only when you need exact Bing URL parameters; otherwise queries is cleaner.
  • Keep includeRelatedSearches on for keyword research and off only if you want smaller rows.
  • If Bing throttles direct requests, enable Apify Proxy and retry with a smaller concurrency pattern.

Limits and caveats

  • This actor extracts organic Bing results. It does not promise paid ads, shopping modules, maps modules, or every rich SERP element.
  • Bing can personalize, localize, or test result pages, so repeated runs may differ.
  • Start URLs must be public HTTPS Bing /search URLs. The Actor records RUN_SUMMARY for partial or blocked queries; copy PENDING_SEEDS into resumeSeeds to continue a time-limited run.
  • Organic position is the observed public Bing position at scrape time. Market and language request result context but do not guarantee a personalized or permanently reproducible ranking.
  • Some result pages omit sitelinks, cached URLs, or related searches.
  • Respect Bing's terms and applicable laws when using exported data.

Support

If a run fails, returns no data, or a field looks wrong, open an issue from the Actor page.

Please include the Apify run ID or run URL, input JSON, one example public URL, query, or input item, what you expected, and what the dataset returned. Small reproducible inputs make parsing or site-layout issues much faster to fix.

Privacy and data handling

This Actor runs with Apify limited permissions and only processes data needed for the documented run. It uses search/query inputs and public search, trend, app, patent, news, or profile results to produce the output dataset and sends requests to public Bing Search Results pages/endpoints; results are stored in Apify run storage for your account. FetchCat does not use your inputs or outputs for advertising, does not use them for model training, and does not retain them outside the Apify run except for transient support debugging when you explicitly share run details. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully, respecting the target site's terms, and avoiding unnecessary personal or sensitive data in inputs.

Common questions

Questions and answers reused from the canonical actor README.

Can I scrape multiple Bing keywords in one run?

Yes. Add multiple values to queries; the actor saves ranked rows for each query.

Can I export to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Download the Apify dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, RSS, or through the Dataset API.

Does it include ads?

No. The actor is designed for organic search result rows.

Why are some fields empty?

Bing does not expose every field for every result. Nullable fields are expected.
