## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| keyword | not declared | yes | not declared | The Bing search query, up to 2,048 characters. Bing syntax such as quoted phrases and minus exclusions works. One call returns the first results page, about 10 results. |
| country | not declared | no | not declared | A two-letter country code such as `us`, `de` or `jp` that sets which market Bing searches. It does not filter results by where the site is hosted. |
| language | not declared | no | not declared | A two-letter language code such as `en` or `es`. It takes effect together with `country`, searching that language-country market. |
| limit | integer (1–) | no | not declared | The most rows to return in this call, an integer of 1 or more. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| rank | Position on the first results page, from 1. |
| title | Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts). |
| url | Link to the record on the platform. |
| displayed_url | The URL as Bing displays it under the title, which may contain › separators; use `url` to open the page. |
| text | Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so). |
| date_text | The date Bing shows in front of the snippet, as written (such as Oct 24, 2026); absent when Bing shows none. |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
