Bing previews new Bing Search APIs

Bing announced they are giving developers a preview of the new Bing Search APIs, version 5. The new APIs expose a lot more functionality for developers within the Bing Search infrastructure. The features include:

• Search across hundreds of billions of web pages, images, videos, and news results
• Autosuggest services to improve accuracy and speed of user input in your apps and sites
• Assistive services such as spell check and adult intent signal
• Access to trending topics including news, images and videos
• Ability to filter image and video results by size, license, style, and price

Here is a side-by-side comparison of what is available in the current API and what is now available in the new one:

The new APIs are REST APIs, which many developers prefer over the old format.
