x-ms-client-name: AcceptLanguage
in: header
description: >-
A comma-delimited list of one or more languages to use for user
interface strings. The list is in decreasing order of preference.
For additional information, including expected format, see
[RFC2616](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html).
This header and the setLang query parameter are mutually exclusive;
do not specify both. If you set this header, you must also specify
the cc query parameter. Bing will use the first supported language
it finds from the list, and combine that language with the cc
parameter value to determine the market to return results for. If
the list does not include a supported language, Bing will find the
closest language and market that supports the request, and may use
an aggregated or default market for the results instead of a
specified one. You should use this header and the cc query parameter
only if you specify multiple languages; otherwise, you should use
the mkt and setLang query parameters. A user interface string is a
string that's used as a label in a user interface. There are very
few user interface strings in the JSON response objects. Any links
in the response objects to Bing.com properties will apply the
specified language.
required: false
type: string
- name: User-Agent
x-ms-client-name: UserAgent
in: header
description: >-
The user agent originating the request. Bing uses the user agent to
provide mobile users with an optimized experience. Although
optional, you are strongly encouraged to always specify this header.
The user-agent should be the same string that any commonly used
browser would send. For information about user agents, see [RFC
2616](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html).
required: false
type: string
- name: X-MSEdge-ClientID
x-ms-client-name: ClientId
in: header
description: >-
Bing uses this header to provide users with consistent behavior
across Bing API calls. Bing often flights new features and
improvements, and it uses the client ID as a key for assigning
traffic on different flights. If you do not use the same client ID
for a user across multiple requests, then Bing may assign the user
to multiple conflicting flights. Being assigned to multiple
conflicting flights can lead to an inconsistent user experience. For
example, if the second request has a different flight assignment
than the first, the experience may be unexpected. Also, Bing can use
the client ID to tailor web results to that client ID’s search
history, providing a richer experience for the user. Bing also uses
this header to help improve result rankings by analyzing the
activity generated by a client ID. The relevance improvements help
with better quality of results delivered by Bing APIs and in turn
enables higher click-through rates for the API consumer. IMPORTANT:
Although optional, you should consider this header required.
Persisting the client ID across multiple requests for the same end
user and device combination enables 1) the API consumer to receive a
consistent user experience, and 2) higher click-through rates via
better quality of results from the Bing APIs. Each user that uses
your application on the device must have a unique, Bing generated
client ID. If you do not include this header in the request, Bing
generates an ID and returns it in the X-MSEdge-ClientID response
header. The only time that you should NOT include this header in a
request is the first time the user uses your app on that device. Use
the client ID for each Bing API request that your app makes for this
user on the device. Persist the client ID. To persist the ID in a
browser app, use a persistent HTTP cookie to ensure the ID is used
across all sessions. Do not use a session cookie. For other apps
such as mobile apps, use the device's persistent storage to persist
the ID. The next time the user uses your app on that device, get the
client ID that you persisted. Bing responses may or may not include
this header. If the response includes this header, capture the
client ID and use it for all subsequent Bing requests for the user
on that device. If you include the X-MSEdge-ClientID, you must not
include cookies in the request.
required: false
type: string
- name: X-MSEdge-ClientIP
x-ms-client-name: ClientIp
in: header
description: >-
The IPv4 or IPv6 address of the client device. The IP address is
used to discover the user's location. Bing uses the location
information to determine safe search behavior. Although optional,
you are encouraged to always specify this header and the
X-Search-Location header. Do not obfuscate the address (for example,
by changing the last octet to 0). Obfuscating the address results in
the location not being anywhere near the device's actual location,
which may result in Bing serving erroneous results.
required: false
type: string
- name: X-Search-Location
x-ms-client-name: Location
in: header
description: >-
A semicolon-delimited list of key/value pairs that describe the
client's geographical location. Bing uses the location information
to determine safe search behavior and to return relevant local
content. Specify the key/value pair as <key>:<value>. The following
are the keys that you use to specify the user's location. lat
(required): The latitude of the client's location, in degrees. The
latitude must be greater than or equal to -90.0 and less than or
equal to +90.0. Negative values indicate southern latitudes and
positive values indicate northern latitudes. long (required): The
longitude of the client's location, in degrees. The longitude must
be greater than or equal to -180.0 and less than or equal to +180.0.
Negative values indicate western longitudes and positive values
indicate eastern longitudes. re (required): The radius, in meters,
which specifies the horizontal accuracy of the coordinates. Pass the
value returned by the device's location service. Typical values
might be 22m for GPS/Wi-Fi, 380m for cell tower triangulation, and
18,000m for reverse IP lookup. ts (optional): The UTC UNIX timestamp
of when the client was at the location. (The UNIX timestamp is the
number of seconds since January 1, 1970.) head (optional): The
client's relative heading or direction of travel. Specify the
direction of travel as degrees from 0 through 360, counting
clockwise relative to true north. Specify this key only if the sp
key is nonzero. sp (optional): The horizontal velocity (speed), in
meters per second, that the client device is traveling. alt
(optional): The altitude of the client device, in meters. are
(optional): The radius, in meters, that specifies the vertical
accuracy of the coordinates. Specify this key only if you specify
the alt key. Although many of the keys are optional, the more
information that you provide, the more accurate the location results
are. Although optional, you are encouraged to always specify the
user's geographical location. Providing the location is especially
important if the client's IP address does not accurately reflect the
user's physical location (for example, if the client uses VPN). For
optimal results, you should include this header and the
X-MSEdge-ClientIP header, but at a minimum, you should include this
header.

type: string
- name: cc
x-ms-client-name: CountryCode
in: query
description: >-
A 2-character country code of the country where the results come
from. This API supports only the United States market. If you
specify this query parameter, it must be set to us. If you set this
parameter, you must also specify the Accept-Language header. Bing
uses the first supported language it finds from the languages list,
and combine that language with the country code that you specify to
determine the market to return results for. If the languages list
does not include a supported language, Bing finds the closest
language and market that supports the request, or it may use an
aggregated or default market for the results instead of a specified
one. You should use this query parameter and the Accept-Language
query parameter only if you specify multiple languages; otherwise,
you should use the mkt and setLang query parameters. This parameter
and the mkt query parameter are mutually exclusive—do not specify
both.
required: false
type: string
- name: count
x-ms-client-name: Count
in: query
description: >-
The number of search results to return in the response. The default
is 10 and the maximum value is 50. The actual number delivered may
be less than requested.Use this parameter along with the offset
parameter to page results.For example, if your user interface
displays 10 search results per page, set count to 10 and offset to 0
to get the first page of results. For each subsequent page,
increment offset by 10 (for example, 0, 10, 20). It is possible for
multiple pages to include some overlap in results.
required: false
type: integer
format: int32
- name: mkt
x-ms-client-name: Market
in: query
description: >-
The market where the results come from. Typically, mkt is the
country where the user is making the request from. However, it could
be a different country if the user is not located in a country where
Bing delivers results. The market must be in the form <language
code>-<country code>. For example, en-US. The string is case
insensitive. If known, you are encouraged to always specify the
market. Specifying the market helps Bing route the request and
return an appropriate and optimal response. If you specify a market
that is not listed in Market Codes, Bing uses a best fit market code
based on an internal mapping that is subject to change. This
parameter and the cc query parameter are mutually exclusive—do not
specify both.
required: false
type: string
default: en-us
- name: offset
x-ms-client-name: Offset
in: query
description: >-
The zero-based offset that indicates the number of search results to
skip before returning results. The default is 0. The offset should
be less than (totalEstimatedMatches - count). Use this parameter
along with the count parameter to page results. For example, if your
user interface displays 10 search results per page, set count to 10
and offset to 0 to get the first page of results. For each
subsequent page, increment offset by 10 (for example, 0, 10, 20). it
is possible for multiple pages to include some overlap in results.
required: false
type: integer

The user's search query term. The term may not be empty. The term
may contain Bing Advanced Operators. For example, to limit results
to a specific domain, use the site: operator.
required: true
type: string
- name: safeSearch
x-ms-client-name: SafeSearch
in: query
description: >-
A filter used to filter adult content. Off: Return webpages with
adult text, images, or videos. Moderate: Return webpages with adult
text, but not adult images or videos. Strict: Do not return webpages
with adult text, images, or videos. The default is Moderate. If the
request comes from a market that Bing's adult policy requires that
safeSearch is set to Strict, Bing ignores the safeSearch value and
uses Strict. If you use the site: query operator, there is the
chance that the response may contain adult content regardless of
what the safeSearch query parameter is set to. Use site: only if you
are aware of the content on the site and your scenario supports the
possibility of adult content.
required: false
type: string
enum:
- 'Off'
- Moderate
- Strict
x-ms-enum:
name: SafeSearch
modelAsString: true
- name: setLang
x-ms-client-name: SetLang
in: query
description: >-
The language to use for user interface strings. Specify the language
using the ISO 639-1 2-letter language code. For example, the
language code for English is EN. The default is EN (English).
Although optional, you should always specify the language.
Typically, you set setLang to the same language specified by mkt
unless the user wants the user interface strings displayed in a
different language. This parameter and the Accept-Language header
are mutually exclusive; do not specify both. A user interface string
is a string that's used as a label in a user interface. There are
few user interface strings in the JSON response objects. Also, any
links to Bing.com properties in the response objects apply the
specified language.
required: false
type: string
- name: textDecorations
x-ms-client-name: TextDecorations
in: query
description: >-
A Boolean value that determines whether display strings should
contain decoration markers such as hit highlighting characters. If
true, the strings may include markers. The default is false. To
specify whether to use Unicode characters or HTML tags as the
markers, see the textFormat query parameter.
required: false
type: boolean
- name: textFormat
x-ms-client-name: TextFormat
in: query
description: >-
The type of markers to use for text decorations (see the
textDecorations query parameter). Possible values are Raw—Use
Unicode characters to mark content that needs special formatting.
The Unicode characters are in the range E000 through E019. For
example, Bing uses E000 and E001 to mark the beginning and end of
query terms for hit highlighting. HTML—Use HTML tags to mark content
that needs special formatting. For example, use <b> tags to
highlight query terms in display strings. The default is Raw. For
display strings that contain escapable HTML characters such as <, >,
and &, if textFormat is set to HTML, Bing escapes the characters as
appropriate (for example, < is escaped to <).
