SERP API Bing Query Parameters
Configure Bing search queries using Thordata’s SERP API, including localization, geotargeting, and pagination options.
q (Required)
Defines the search query for scraping (default: q=pizza). Supports any keyword or language.
Code Example:
curl https://scraperapi.thordata.com/request -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -d "{\"url\": \"https://www.bing.com/search?q=pizza^&json=1\"}"
Localization
cc (Optional)
Specifies the country/region for localized results (e.g., cc=jp prioritizes Japanese results).
Examples:
cc=us → United States (English)
Example Request:
curl https://scraperapi.thordata.com/request -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -d "{\"url\": \"https://www.bing.com/search?q=pizza^&json=1^&cc=jp\"}"
mkt (Optional)
Sets UI language and regional format using language-code-region (e.g., en-CA). Case-insensitive.
Examples:
mkt=en-US → English (United States)
mkt=zh-CN → Simplified Chinese
Note:
mkt prioritizes UI language; cc focuses on content localization.
Combine both (e.g., mkt=es-AR&cc=ar) for region-specific results.
Example Request:
curl https://scraperapi.thordata.com/request -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -d "{\"url\": \"https://www.bing.com/search?q=pizza^&json=1^&mkt=en-ca\"}"
Geotargeting
location (Optional)
Sets the search origin location (city/region). For best results, pair with lat/lon.
Example Request:
curl https://scraperapi.thordata.com/request -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -d "{\"url\": \"https://www.bing.com/search?q=pizza^&json=1^&location=Tokyo\"}"
lat (Optional)
GPS latitude (-90.0 to 90.0). Must be used with lon.
Recommended precision: 4 decimal places (e.g., 40.7128 for New York).
Example Request:
curl https://scraperapi.thordata.com/request -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -d "{\"url\": \"https://www.bing.com/search?q=pizza^&json=1^&lat=30\"}"
lon (Optional)
GPS longitude (-180.0 to 180.0). Must be used with lat.

first (Optional)
Sets the result offset (default: 1). For example, first=10 skips the first 9 results.

curl https://scraperapi.thordata.com/request -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -d "{\"url\": \"https://www.bing.com/search?q=pizza^&json=1^&first=10\"}"
count (Optional)
Number of results per page (range: 1–50). Use with first for pagination.
