- slongfield 5y agoIt's probably not scraped, FWIW--Bing has a paid API: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/apis/bing-web-search-api https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/apis/bing-web-search-ap... (Can't find a source indicating that they're using this, but I'd be surprised if they weren't.)
- loudtieblahblah 5y agothey're probably using it. with the volume of traffic they're using, and the fact Qwant and every other 'private' search basically uses Bing results, paying for API access makes the most sense.
