Python is a great language for automating repetitive tasks. In this post, we’ll show you how to write a Python script to automate a Bing search.
First, you’ll need to install the Python requests library. You can do this using pip:
pip install requests
Next, you’ll need to create a file called bing_search.py and paste the following code into it:
import requests
def bing_search(query):
bing_url = ‘https://www.bing.com/search’
payload = {‘q’: query}
r = requests.get(bing_url, params=payload)
if r.status_code == 200:
print(r.text)
else:
print(‘Error:’, r.status_code)
if __name__ == ‘__main__’:
bing_search(‘python automation’)
This code imports the requests library and defines a function called bing_search(). This function takes a single argument, the search query, and makes a GET request to the Bing search URL.
If the request is successful, the function prints the response text. Otherwise, it prints an error message.
Finally, the code calls the bing_search() function with the query ‘python automation’.
If you run this code, you should see the following output:
