# Bing News Parameters
`GET` `/search?engine=bing&search_type=news`
The Bing News Parameters are applicable when making a request with `engine=bing` and `search_type=news` to retrieve Bing News results for a given search term. The search term is specified in the `q` parameter and the optional `country_code` parameter can be used to specify Bing country to use.

**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](https://docs.trajectdata.com/serpwow/locations-api/overview).
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.

For example, to request Bing News results for the keyword `pizza` in `country_code=us` , the request would be:

HTTP
```HTTP
https://api.serpwow.com/live/search?api_key=demo&engine=bing&q=pizza+United+States
```
```curl
curl -L --get https://api.serpwow.com/live/search \
-d api_key="demo" \
-d engine="bing" \
-d location="United States" \
-d q="pizza"
```
```nodejs
const axios = require('axios');
// set up the request parameters
const params = {
api_key: "demo",
engine: "bing",
location: "United States",
q: "pizza"
}
// make the http GET request
axios.get('https://api.serpwow.com/live/search', { params })
.then(response => {
// print the JSON response
console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data, 0, 2));
}).catch(error => {
// catch and print the error
console.log(error);
})
```
```python
import requests
import json
# set up the request parameters
params = {
'api_key': 'demo',
'engine': 'bing',
'location': 'United States',
'q': 'pizza'
}
# make the http GET request
api_result = requests.get('https://api.serpwow.com/live/search', params)
# print the JSON response
print(json.dumps(api_result.json()))
```
```php
'demo',
'engine' => 'bing',
'location' => 'United States',
'q' => 'pizza'
]);
# make the http GET request
$ch = curl_init(sprintf('%s?%s', 'https://api.serpwow.com/live/search', $queryString));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 180);
$api_result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
# print the JSON response
echo $api_result;
