Bing Image Parameters
﻿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.
