GET /search?engine=bing&search_type=images
The Bing Image Parameters are applicable when making a request with engine=bing and search_type=images to retrieve image results for a given search term. The search term is specified in the q parameter and the optional location parameter can be used to geo-locate the image request (locations can be retrieved via the Locations API).
Setting Location for Bing requests The recommended way of setting the location of your Bing request is to use the location parameter. The location parameter can be populated with a full_name value returned by the Locations API.
You may also use either the market_code or country_code parameters to set the location of your request, but the recommended approach is to use the location parameter as this sets all the required prerequisites to achieve a correctly geo-located result.
