Bing previews new Bing Search APIs
Bing announced they are giving developers a preview of the new Bing Search APIs, version 5. The new APIs expose a lot more functionality for developers within the Bing Search infrastructure. The features include:
- Search across hundreds of billions of web pages, images, videos, and news results
- Autosuggest services to improve accuracy and speed of user input in your apps and sites
- Assistive services such as spell check and adult intent signal
- Access to trending topics including news, images and videos
- Ability to filter image and video results by size, license, style, and price
Here is a side-by-side comparison of what is available in the current API and what is now available in the new one:
The new APIs are REST APIs, which many developers prefer over the old format.
