Overview

This node performs a Bing web search using the SerpApi service. It allows users to specify a search query and various optional parameters to customize the search results, such as location, market codes, country, result offset, number of results, safe search filtering, device type, and more. This node is useful for retrieving live Bing search data programmatically, which can be used for market research, SEO analysis, content aggregation, or any scenario requiring automated web search results.

Use Case Examples

  1. A marketing analyst uses this node to gather Bing search results for specific keywords to analyze competitor content.
  2. A developer integrates this node into a workflow to fetch the latest news articles from Bing based on a search query.
  3. A content aggregator uses this node to collect search results filtered by location and safe search settings.

Location (location) Specifies the geographic location from which the search should originate, influencing localized search results.
Latitude (lat) GPS latitude coordinate to define the search origin.
Longitude (lon) GPS longitude coordinate to define the search origin.
Market codes (mkt) Specifies the market locale for the search results, e.g., en-US for United States English. Mutually exclusive with the country code parameter.
Country (cc) Defines the country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) to search from, e.g., US for United States. Mutually exclusive with the market code parameter.
Result Offset (first) Controls the offset of the organic search results, e.g., first=10 moves the 10th result to the first position.
Number of Results (count) Controls the number of results per page, minimum 1 and maximum 50. This is a suggestion and may not reflect actual results returned.

Additional Filtering (filters) Allows complex filtering options such as filtering by date range using Bing's filters query parameter.
Device (device) Defines the device type for the search results: desktop (default), tablet, or mobile.
Disable Caching (no_cache) Forces fetching new results instead of using cached results. Cache expires after 1 hour.
Async (async) Whether to perform the search asynchronously. If true, results must be retrieved later using the Search Archive API. Cannot be used with no_cache or on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.
ZeroTrace Mode (zero_trace) Enterprise-only mode to skip storing search parameters and metadata on SerpApi servers for privacy.
Output (output) Defines the output format: JSON (default) for structured results or HTML for raw HTML content.
JSON Restrictor (json_restrictor) Restricts the fields returned in the JSON response, e.g., limiting to certain fields of the first few organic results.

Output

JSON

  • searchResults - The JSON object containing the search results returned by the Bing search via SerpApi.

Dependencies

  • SerpApi API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the SerpApi API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient quota.
  • If no results are returned, verify the search query and parameters for correctness.
  • If the node times out, consider increasing the timeout setting in Request Options.
  • If using location or market parameters, ensure they are valid and supported by SerpApi.
  • Avoid using async and no_cache parameters together as they are mutually exclusive.
