Results and what surrounds them
Organic results with position, title, URL, site name, snippet, date and sitelinks, with the knowledge panel, related searches, top stories and videos from the same page. A feature Bing did not show comes back empty, never guessed.
Bing’s AI overview, with sources
When Bing answers a query itself, answerBox carries it: a direct fact, or the generated overview with the pages it cites, so you can see which sources Bing trusts for your keyword.
People Also Ask and suggestions
The questions Bing lists under People also ask, the related searches, and the completions its search box offers, for content briefs and keyword research. People Also Ask comes back as the questions only.
Positions that mean positions
Organic results are numbered across pages, a URL Bing repeats is counted once, and ads sit in their own list. Position 8 is the eighth organic result, whatever ran above it.
Rank checks at a flat price
Scan 10, 100 or 200 organic positions for a domain or URL and pay 1 credit either way. The response reports serpPagesFetched so you can see the work done, and never bills for it.
38 markets
Requests default to en-US on desktop. Pass en-GB, de-DE, ja-JP or any of Bing’s markets, a country or language override, mobile, safe search and a day, week, month or year time range.
News and video on their own routes
Bing News with the publisher and publication time behind each story, and Bing Video with duration, uploader and view count — so coverage of a topic and the videos ranking for it are each one request, separate from the web results.

What does Bing show for open source crm, and does its AI overview cite anyone we compete with?
Read one results page for one credit. CRM.org ranks first and Forbes Advisor second. Bing shows an AI overview citing five sources, among them crm.org, SourceForge, Forbes and twenty.com, and a video row led by “5 Best Open Source CRM For Small Businesses and Startups in 2026”.

How credits work — no multipliers
One credit = one API call, on every endpoint and platform. No matter how many results come back, you pay for the call, not the output size. Most scraping APIs charge multipliers of 5x, 25x, even 75x per call depending on the target — here it's always 1.

FAQ
Common questions.
Is this a Bing SERP API?
Yes. It is a SERP API for Bing: send a query and get the search engine results page back as structured JSON — the organic results with position, title, URL, site name, snippet, date and sitelinks, and the answer box or AI overview, knowledge panel, People Also Ask questions, related searches, top stories and videos Bing showed with them, in the market you choose. It bills one credit per results page read, and a rank check is one credit at any depth. Microsoft retired its own Bing Search APIs on August 11, 2025, and points customers to Grounding with Bing Search inside Azure AI Agents, which feeds an AI agent rather than returning the results page.
Do I need a Microsoft account, an Azure subscription or a Bing API key?
No. You do not need a Microsoft account, an Azure subscription or any key from Bing. You send your FetchLayer key and a query, and you get back the results any visitor to bing.com sees in the market you choose, as JSON. FetchLayer is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft or Bing.
What comes back from one search?
The organic results in order, each with position, title, URL, the URL as Bing prints it, domain, site name, snippet, date and sitelinks. From the first page read, whatever Bing showed alongside: the answer box (a direct fact, or Bing’s AI overview with its sources), the knowledge panel, People also ask questions, related searches, top stories and videos, plus Bing’s own result estimate and the query it searched instead when it corrected the spelling. A feature Bing did not show comes back empty or null, and that is common.
How deep can a search go?
Up to 200 organic results. limit defaults to 10, the first page; a larger limit reads more pages, up to 20 in one request, and nextCursor continues where the last response stopped. page jumps straight to a later page. Each page read is one request, and pagesScraped in the response says how many were read.
How do rank checks work, and what do they cost?
Send a query and a domain or URL to /rank-check. It scans up to 200 organic positions and returns whether the target was found, its best position, and every match with its URL, title and result page. A rank check costs one credit regardless of depth; serpPagesFetched reports the pages read and is never billed. A 200-position check typically takes around 30 seconds, so give your HTTP client a generous timeout.
Why does my ranking differ from what I see in my browser?
Bing ranks by market and device, and every request defaults to en-US on desktop. Pass one of Bing’s 38 markets, a country or language override, or device: "mobile" to check what someone else sees. Bing’s positions also move noticeably between regions and even between two requests minutes apart, so track a query over time rather than reading one check as fixed.
How are ads handled?
Ads come back in their own ads array, with their placement on the page, title, landing page, domain and snippet, and they never take an organic position. Bing shows text ads rarely, so the array is usually empty.
What is not available?
No answers under People also ask: only the questions come back, because Bing loads the answers when one is opened. Shopping, maps, weather and flight modules are not returned as fields, image search is not offered, and the videos route has no time filter. Every response carries a notes array for anything narrower than you asked.
What else can I query besides web results?
The suggestions Bing’s search box offers for a partial query, Bing News with publisher, snippet, age and image and a time range down to the past hour, and Bing Videos with hosting site, channel, duration, views and thumbnail. /resolve-url turns any Bing search, news or video URL into its query and filters without contacting Bing.
How does billing work?
One API request equals one credit, the same as every other FetchLayer platform. Search bills one request per result page read, news and videos one per list, suggestions one per call, a rank check one at any depth, and /resolve-url is free. Bing is in Beta while coverage expands, billed at half credit.
Can my AI agent use it?
Yes. All six routes are MCP tools on the same FetchLayer MCP server, named bing_search, bing_rank_check, bing_suggestions, bing_news, bing_videos and bing_resolve_url. Tool calls use the same key and are billed exactly like REST, so a rank check from an agent is still one credit.
