How can I search Bing for images using key words?
I am able to search Google using:
import urllib2
import json
credentialGoogle = '' # Google credentials from: https://console.developers.google.com/
searchString = 'Xbox%20One'
top = 20
offset = 0
while offset < top:
url = 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images?' + \
'v=1.0&q=%s&start=%d&userip=%s' % (searchString, offset, credentialGoogle)
request = urllib2.Request(url)
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
results = json.load(response)
# process results
offset += 4 # since Google API only returns 4 search results at a time
What would be the equivalent for Bing? Presumably it'd start with:
keyBing = '' # Bing key from: https://datamarket.azure.com/account/keys
credentialBing = '' # same as key?
searchString = '%27Xbox+One%27'
top = 20
offset = 0
url = 'https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/Image?' + \
'Query=%s&$top=%d&$skip=%d&$format=json' % (searchString, top, offset)
but how are the credentials set up?
The Bing equivalent would be:
keyBing = '' # get Bing key from: https://datamarket.azure.com/account/keys
credentialBing = 'Basic ' + (':%s' % keyBing).encode('base64')[:-1] # the "-1" is to remove the trailing "\n" which encode adds
searchString = '%27Xbox+One%27'
top = 20
offset = 0
url = 'https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/Image?' + \
'Query=%s&$top=%d&$skip=%d&$format=json' % (searchString, top, offset)
request = urllib2.Request(url)
request.add_header('Authorization', credentialBing)
requestOpener = urllib2.build_opener()
response = requestOpener.open(request)
results = json.load(response)
# process results

In Python 3.0+, this looks like:
from urllib.parse import quote_plus
import json
import requests
def bing_search(query):
# Your base API URL; change "Image" to "Web" for web results.
url = "https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/v1/Image"
# Query parameters. Don't try using urlencode here.
# Don't ask why, but Bing needs the "$" in front of its parameters.
# The '$top' parameter limits the number of search results.
url += "?$format=json&$top=10&Query=%27{}%27".format(quote_plus(query))
# You can get your primary account key at https://datamarket.azure.com/account
r = requests.get(url, auth=("","YOUR_AZURE_API_PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_KEY"))
resp = json.loads(r.text)
return(resp)
This is based off my web search function here .
There's a python package named PyBingSearch for that (ok I admit it, I wrote a chunk of the package).
To Install:
pip install py-bing-search
In Python 2.*.*:
from py_bing_search import PyBingImageSearch
bing_image = PyBingImageSearch('Your-Api-Key-Here', "x-box console")
first_fifty_results = bing_image.search(limit=50, format='json') #1-50
print (first_fifty_results[0].media_url)
You'll need to get the API key from Bing (free up to 5k/month). The package allows you to search for web, image, video and news.
Now works for Python3.* as well, just install with:
pip3 install py-bing-search
There's now a new Microsoft Cognitive Service which takes over the old API. The new python package that can help you with that is PyMsCognitive .
The Bing equivalent for python 3:
import http.client, urllib.request, urllib.parse, urllib.error, base64
headers = {
# Request headers
'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': '{subscription key}',
}
params = urllib.parse.urlencode({
# Request parameters
'q': 'bill gates',
'count': '10',
'offset': '0',
'mkt': 'en-us',
'safesearch': 'Moderate',
})
try:
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection('api.cognitive.microsoft.com')
conn.request("GET", "/bing/v5.0/search?%s" % params, "{body}", headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
data = response.read()
print(data)
conn.close()
except Exception as e:
print("[Errno {0}] {1}".format(e.errno, e.strerror))
