It doesn’t end there though! You can improve your search experience by augmenting your Bing Image Search solution by integrating other services such as the Bing Autosuggest API to help guide your users with search terms as they type. Get Trending Images: Customise a search for trending images from around the world.

Pivot and Intelligent Search: Expand your search capabilities by including and displaying Bing-suggested search terms to queries. The API lets you supply many parameters to help you find, filter and page through images you’re interested in, and while the key use case for the Bing Image Search API is image search, it also contains some other additional features to help you further refine your search queries which include the following:įiltering and image restriction: Narrow search results by filtering the images that Bing returns by editing query parameters, for example, only clipart-style images, images found in the last 2 weeks, images with a face, etc.Ĭustom thumbnails: Resize, expand, or crop thumbnail previews for the images returned by Bing Image Search, for example, smartly crop around face. The Bing Image Search API (which is different from the Bing Visual Search API), lets you add search options to your app or website, from static and animated images to detailed insights, and makes it easy for you to ship solutions that contain functionality that you can find in /images.

We looked at the Bing Visual Search API in a previous blog post, in this blog post we continue to explore another Bing API – the Bing Image Search API.
