Introducing PoshBing – The PowerShell library for Microsoft’s Bing Search Engine
Microsoft released their new search engine called “Bing” at, aptly named, https://www.bing.com .
…
The Bing API has the concept of “ SourceTypes ” which are essentially data sources that you can search into. My script library provides access to the Image , InstantAnswer , News , MobileWeb , Phonebook , RelatedSearch , Spell , Web , Translation , and Video SourceTypes with the following functions:
Get-BingImage – Search the Image SourceType for a list of images including properties about the media files.
Get-BingInstantAnswer – Get single, authoritative answers to questions.
Get-BingNews – Provide news specific to a topic, a location, or breaking news.
Get-BingMobileWeb – Returns mobile web results, primarily relevant XHTML or WML pages.
Get-BingPhonebook – Enables you to view details about a business for which you are searching as if they were a phonebook entry.
Get-BingRelatedSearch – View searches that provide information in which you might be interested, based on your current search.
Get-BingSpell – Query alternative spellings for a given word or phrase.
Get-BingWeb – Get pages relevant to the queried terms.
Get-BingTranslation – Translate a term from one language to another.
Get-BingVideo – return a list of videos and their properties relevant to the query terms.
