# Bing organic results

JSON record: https://gateway.agentsky.dev/v1/endpoints/dataforseo/serp_bing_organic_live

Bing organic results is a tool from DataForSEO, callable through the AgentSky API as dataforseo/serp_bing_organic_live and billed per call (—).

Runs a live query against the second-largest general web search engine and returns the whole results page as structured data. As with the primary engine, the response is not limited to standard web results: answer boxes, featured snippets, related questions, local packs, image and video blocks, shopping carousels, and AI overviews all come back typed and ranked. This is the natural way to measure how visibility for the same query differs between the two major engines.

One results page, broken into typed and ranked elements with their titles, URLs, domains, and descriptions.

# Set once per job; reuse this key and the identical body after a timeout.
: "${AGENTSKY_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY:?Set a unique, saved key for this job}"
curl --fail-with-body https://gateway.agentsky.dev/v1/run \
  -H "authorization: Bearer $AGENTSKY_API_KEY" \

## Pricing

— per call

Reported usage is billed under your account plan. Read the final customer charge from price.amount.value after the run finishes. A RUNNING response is not the final bill.

## Questions

### What does Bing organic results do?

Runs a live query against the second-largest general web search engine and returns the whole results page as structured data. As with the primary engine, the response is not limited to standard web results: answer boxes, featured snippets, related questions, local packs, image and video blocks, shopping carousels, and AI overviews all come back typed and ranked. This is the natural way to measure how visibility for the same query differs between the two major engines.

### What does Bing organic results take?

keyword is required; the rest of the fields are optional. Send them in the input object of a POST to /v1/run.

### What are the limits on Bing organic results?

The catalog lists an execution timeout of 3 min. A request can return READY or RUNNING before completion; poll GET /v1/runs/{runId} with the same API key until it reaches a terminal status. An HTTP timeout does not prove the generation stopped.

### How do I retry safely and check the final charge?

Save a unique Idempotency-Key for each job. After a network error or HTML timeout, resend the identical POST body with the same key and API key to recover the existing run, then poll its runId. A new key can start another billable generation. An HTTP error or timeout does not establish the run outcome or final charge. Pending runs can still settle; check the terminal price.amount and billing state, and retain the runId for reconciliation. Do not automatically create a new job after a terminal failure.
