What the Bing Images API returns

Original images and source pages

Each result includes its position, title, original image URL and the page hosting it, with thumbnails and dimensions when available.

Size, type, layout and color

Choose small through extra-large images, photos, clipart, line drawings, animated GIFs or transparent images. Combine these with aspect ratio and color filters.

People, dates and usage rights

Filter for faces or portraits, select a recent time window, and use Bing's license categories to narrow results.

Market and SafeSearch controls

Choose a market with mkt or a country with cc. safeSearch accepts off, moderate or strict.

Pagination that preserves your filters

Follow litescrape_pagination.next to fetch another batch with the same query and filters. Bing may return fewer images than requested.
