This software provides a minimalist Python interface for the Bing API, enabling users to interact with search and other features of the Bing search engine. The streamlined wrapper allows for efficient implementation of Bing-powered search within Python applications.
To use this library, you need to have an Appid from Bing. The meat of bingapi.py is `talk_to_bing` function, which takes a query and other optional parameters in extra_args and returns the dictionary of Bing's response. If you want to use multiple sources in one call you can use `talk_to_bing` directly.
Class `Bing` also provides utility functions to do various types of searches so that users don't have to remember the source type. The various functions available are do_web_search, do_image_search, do_news_search, do_spell_search, do_related_search, do_phonebook_search, and do_answers_search.
All of these functions are used similarly. The library also has easy installation using easy_install bingapi or SVN it from https://marianoguerra.github.com/bingapi/. Overall, bingapi is a great tool for anyone looking for an easy-to-use Python wrapper over the Bing API to access Bing's search engine.
