Localization

setLang

Geo-Location

location

A location for the search origin. Should be used together with lat (latitude) and lon (longitude) parameters.

curl --proxy brd.superproxy.io:44445 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer-id>-zone-<zone-name>:<zone-password> "https://www.bing.com/search?q=pizza&location=New+York%2C+New+York%2C+United+States&lat=40.7001958&lon=-74.1087142"

Pagination

count

This attibute was deprecated by bing and is no longer supported.

first

An offset that indicates the number of search results to skip before returning results. The default value is 1.

Use this parameter along with the count parameter to page results. For example, set count to 10 and first to 1 to get the first page of results. For each subsequent page, increment first by 10 (for example, 1, 11, 21). It is possible for multiple pages to include some overlap in results.

Examples:

first=1 (default) - first page of results
first=11 - second page of results
first=21 - third page of results, etc.

curl --proxy brd.superproxy.io:44445 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer-id>-zone-<zone-name>:<zone-password> "https://www.bing.com/search?q=pizza&first=11"

Filters

safesearch

Used to filter webpages, images, and videos for adult content.

The following are the possible filter values:
safesearch=off, Returns content with adult text and images but not adult videos
safesearch=moderate, Returns webpages with adult text, but not adult images or videos
safesearch=strict, Does not return adult text, images, or videos

The default is Moderate.

NOTE: If the request comes from a market that Bing’s adult policy requires that safeSearch be set to Strict, Bing ignores the safesearch value and uses Strict.
