FAQ
What is a Bing videos scraper?
A Bing videos scraper reads the results from a Bing video search and returns them in a structured format. Our Bing videos scraper API takes a query and returns each result's title, real video link, thumbnail, duration, source platform, channel, publish time, and view count as JSON, deduplicated, from a single request.
Which platforms do the video results come from?
Bing aggregates videos from many hosts, so a single query commonly returns results from YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms in one list. Each result carries a source field naming the platform and a link resolved to that platform's real URL, so you can filter or route by source as needed.
How does the scraper get the real video URL?
Bing stores each card's real URLs in an HTML-entity-escaped JSON blob on the card's mmeta attribute. Our scraper parses that blob per card and returns the resolved video URL in the link field, falling back to the card's own link attributes when needed, so you get the destination URL rather than a bing.com link.
How many video results can I get per call?
The count parameter accepts 1 to 100 and defaults to 50. It is a best-effort cap: we return up to your count, and the actual number depends on how many cards the page renders. Each call counts as one request against your plan.
Are view counts and durations exact?
They are returned exactly as Bing displays them on the card, so views come back as a formatted string like 61.5K views and duration as a clock string like 2:15. These reflect what Bing shows at scrape time, which can round large numbers, rather than a live count from the source platform.
Is scraping Bing video results legal?
Scraping publicly visible video search results is generally treated as lower risk than scraping data behind a login. This is not legal advice: the videos themselves belong to their creators and platforms, so you are responsible for respecting Bing's terms, each platform's terms, and copyright. Collecting links and metadata for discovery and research differs from redistributing the video content.
