How it will work: 3 steps

Follow us on ApifyThe tool is built and waits in the queue for the Apify Store. Apify is the cloud platform where our tools run.
Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: apify in Search queries. Each start is one run.
Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Add search queries, pick DuckDuckGo, Bing or both, and get the public search results as one row per result: position, title, real website URL, snippet and domain.

position in the engine's result list (continues across pages);
title, snippet (description) and the real website URL (Bing's and DuckDuckGo's redirect links are decoded);
displayed URL and domain;
the engine, query, region and page it came from.

Good for

Check where a site appears on DuckDuckGo and Bing for a keyword list.
Collect the top 10–100 URLs for a topic for SEO, content or lead research.
Give an AI agent a cheap web search with clean rows.
Compare DuckDuckGo and Bing results for the same queries.

Not a good fit

Only organic web results. Ads, news, images, videos, maps, "People also ask" and AI answers are not returned.
Results are not personalised and not tied to a city.
Bing with the site: operator returns only its first page (about 10 results).
The engines sometimes block automated traffic. The Actor changes IP addresses and retries, but it never solves CAPTCHAs (see Troubleshooting).

Questions

Do I get ads or news results?

No. You get organic web results only. Ads, news, images, maps and AI answers are not included.

Why are the links real website URLs?

Both engines use redirect links. The tool decodes them, so you get the page address itself.

How many results can I get per keyword?

Up to 100 results per query and engine. A run can have up to 500 queries.

Do I pay for blocked pages?

No. Error rows and blocked or retried pages are free.

Do I need a DuckDuckGo or Bing account or API key?

No. The Actor reads public results pages without login or cookies of any account.

Is the order the same as on duckduckgo.com or bing.com?

position follows the order on the results pages for the chosen region. DuckDuckGo uses its simple "lite" page, which can differ a little from the full page.

How do I search only one site?

Add the operator to the query, for example site:apify.com scraper. On Bing you get the first page only.

Use cases

Task	Input	You get	Key fields	Next step
Rank check on two engines	`queries`, `engine: both`, `region`	result row	`engine`, `query`, `position`, `domain`	Schedule + Google Sheets or API
Topic research	`queries`, `maxResults: 50`	result row	`title`, `url`, `description`	Export CSV / JSON
Web search for AI agents	`queries`, `maxResults: 5`	result row	`title`, `url`, `description`	MCP or API
Fresh pages only	`queries`, `timeRange: week`	result row	`url`, `description`	Webhook or Slack

Tips for better results

Pick a region to get results for one country.
Use the time range filter to find fresh pages only.
Split very long keyword lists into several runs.

Limits and good to know

A search with no results costs one page: the engine was asked and answered
error rows and retried or blocked pages are free. This includes queries answered only with results unrelated to the query (UNRELATED_RESULTS)
If an engine answers nothing usable for 90 seconds (timeouts, errors or blocks), the Actor stops that engine, so a broken engine never makes a run expensive
If you set a maximum charge for the run, the Actor stops before it, keeps the rows and ends with status CAPPED
Up to 500 queries and 100 results per query and engine in one run
40 queries × 100 results on both engines (8,000 rows) took about 23 minutes in tests. After 3,600 seconds the run stops with status CAPPED and keeps all rows; split bigger lists across runs
The engine decides how many results a query has; some queries end before maxResults
Bing outside the United States is slower, because it goes through a residential IP in that country
