Local businesses from a Bing Maps search, by keyword plus city, ZIP or address ("plumbers", "Austin, TX") or around exact coordinates: name, Bing listing ID and URL, category, full address (street, city, state and ZIP for US addresses), phone, website, star rating with its review count and source (Bing shows Yelp, TripAdvisor or its own ratings), open-now status and hours text, latitude, longitude and photo, about 18 businesses per Bing page and up to 100 per call, in any Bing market (en-US, en-GB, de-DE...). Read from the list the signed-out Bing Maps page loads; verification pages are detected, never bypassed, and never charged. Billed per business returned; blocked or failed requests are free.
