Node Bing API

Node.js lib for the Microsoft Cognitive Services Bing Web Search API

Changelog v4

Use Cognitive V7. Apparently new registrations can use that version only. Upgrade with care!

Changelog v3

Thanks to the contribution of @franciscofsales, version 3 supports the new API (Cognitive Services).

Changelog v2

In order to follow JavaScript best practices and allow the library to
be promisified, the callback function is now the last parameter.

Installation

```
npm install node-bing-api
``

Usage

Require the library and initialize it with your account key:

`js
var Bing = require('node-bing-api')({ accKey: "your-account-key" });
`

Promises

This API provdes callbacks by default, but users of node 8 and newer can make the library return Promises with util.promisify(). For example, to use Bing.web:

`js
var util = require('util'),
Bing = require('node-bing-api')({ accKey: 'someKey' }),
searchBing = util.promisify(Bing.web.bind(Bing));
`

#### Web Search (same as Composite):

`js
Bing.web("Pizza", {
count: 10, // Number of results (max 50)
offset: 3 // Skip first 3 results
}, function(error, res, body){

// body has more useful information besides web pages
// (image search, related search, news, videos)
// but for this example we are just
// printing the first two web page results
console.log(body.webPages.value[0]);
console.log(body.webPages.value[1]);
});
`

#### Composite Search (same as Web):
`js
Bing.composite("Playstation 4 Pro", {
count: 10, // Number of results (max 15 for news, max 50 if other)
offset: 3 // Skip first 3 results
}, function(error, res, body){
console.log(body.news);
});
`

#### News Search:
`js
Bing.news("Anonymous", {
count: 10, // Number of results (max 15)
offset: 3 // Skip first 3 results
}, function(error, res, body){
console.log(body);
});
`

#### Video Search:
`js
Bing.video("monkey vs frog", {
count: 10, // Number of results (max 50)
offset: 3 // Skip first 3 result
}, function(error, res, body){
console.log(body);
});
`

#### Images Search:
`js
Bing.images("Ninja Turtles", {
count: 15, // Number of results (max 50)
offset: 3 // Skip first 3 result
}, function(error, res, body){
console.log(body);
});
`

#### Related Search (same as Web):
`js
Bing.relatedSearch('berlin'
, { market: 'en-US' }
, (err, res, body) => {
const suggestions = body.relatedSearches.value.map(r => r.displayText)
console.log(suggestions.join('\n'))
})
`

#### Spelling Suggestions:
`js
Bing.spelling('awsome spell', function (err, res, body) {
console.log(body.flaggedTokens.suggestions[0].suggestion); //awesome spell
});
`
