Video Search APIs v7 reference
The Video Search APIs let you search for videos that are relevant to the user's search query, get insights about videos, and get trending videos. This section provides technical details about the query parameters and headers that you use to request videos and the JSON response objects that contain them. For examples that show how to make requests, see Bing Video Search overview.
For information about permitted use and display of the results, see Use and display requirements.
Note
Because URL formats and parameters are subject to change without notice, use all URLs as-is. You should not take dependencies on the URL format or parameters except where noted.

https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/videos/trending |

Note
The maximum URL length is 2,048 characters. To ensure that your URL length does not exceed the limit, the maximum length of your query parameters should be less than 1,500 characters. If the URL exceeds 2,048 characters, the server returns 404 Not found.
