Summary


In this chapter, we have looked at the different Bing Search APIs. We started by looking at how we can use the Bing Web Search API to search for all kinds of content. Next, we found the latest news, based on query strings and categories. From there, we moved on to image and video searches. In addition, we looked at how to enhance the user experience by adding autosuggestions. We did this by using the Bing Autosuggestion API. Finally, we briefly introduced you to Bing Visual Search and Bing Custom Search.

In the next and final chapter, we will wrap things up. We will complete our smart-house application by connecting the pieces. We will also take a look at the road ahead.
