while i assume there are good business reasons you're basing your stuff on Bing, it's notable that as a general rule developers don't use bing. In my experience the google results are radically better.

I'd strongly suspect it's the same reason DDG does so: Bing offers a search API, and Google has no incentive to offer access to its index and results

There are plenty of companies that make a living scraping results out of Google, so I don't mean to say it's impossible, it's just a monster amount of energy playing cat and mouse with what is effectively an unlimited budget to stop one from accomplishing that goal
