How to search Bing Images with PHP?

Cutie101

Since Bing image uses JavaScript to display image pages, how does one search Bing Images using PHP?

I tried just Curl but it returns a page without any images.

You will need to use the BING API for image searches and you'll need to use JSON for that. Here is some PHP code for searching/fetching images from BING:

<?php
    $apiNumber = '<your-api-key>';
    $countImage = '5';
  
$url = 'http://api.bing.net/json.aspx?AppId='.$apiNumber.'&Query='.urlencode($node->title).'&Sources=Image&Version=2.2&Market=en-us&Adult=Strict&Image.Count='.$countImage.'&Image.Offset=0&JsonType=raw';
   
$file = @file_get_contents($url, 1000000);
   
$bingImageResult = json_decode($file);
    if(isset(

$bingImageResult->SearchResponse->Image->Results)){
        $output .= '<div id="bingImage-wrap"><ul id="imageList">';
        foreach(

$bingImageResult->SearchResponse->Image->Results as $value) {
           
$imageVal ='<img width="'.$value->Thumbnail->Width.'" height="'.$value->Thumbnail->Height.'" alt="'.$getNode->title.'" title="'.$getNode->title.'" src="'.str_replace("&","&",$value->Thumbnail->Url).'" />';
            $output .= '<li class="resultlistitem">'.$imageVal.'</li>';
        }
       

$output .= '</ul><div class="clear"></div></div>';
    }
   echo

$output;
?>
