⭐️ Top Updates #

We have restored direct URLs for Google APIs

We have restored direct URLs for Google APIs

We've successfully resolved Google's recent rollout of google.com/goto redirect URLs across search results, ensuring our Google APIs continue to return direct, clean destination URLs in your results. When Google expanded the use of internal tracking redirects to replace direct landing page URLs, our engineering team swiftly deployed updates across all affected result types to decode and normalize every URL variation behind the scenes. This seamless resolution ensures uninterrupted data stability for rank tracking platforms, SEO audit tools, citation extraction systems, AI agents, RAG pipelines, and content discovery applications that rely on accurate, direct destination links to monitor performance and power downstream workflows.

Bing Events Results API

Bing Events Results API

We've expanded our Bing Search API with dedicated parsing for Bing's Events Results section, making it effortless to extract structured local event listings directly from Bing search pages. The API automatically parses key event details into clean JSON and Markdown, including titles, event types, locations, dates, times, ticket prices, thumbnails, and direct links, along with interactive category filters like Music, Comedy, Sports, and Theater. It also handles special layout variations such as AI generated event lists and local activity roundups. This addition is ideal for developers building event discovery platforms, city travel guides, ticket aggregation tools, neighborhood activity apps, and AI powered itinerary planners that need real time event data across any location.
