Creating a Bing Image Search App

Introduction

In this lesson, we’re going to build our own image search engine using the Azure Bing service.

Implementation

We’ll follow the steps mentioned below to build the image search engine:

• First, we’ll write a Python script to get the image search results for a given search term using the Bing Search REST API calls.

• Second, we’ll create a nice UI to render the search results which makes the application usable through UI. Like the course, it does not focus on UI development, all the HTML and CSS files are provided in the code block for your reference.

Now let’s implement the application.

The Python script to fetch the image search results

As discussed, we’ll call the Bing Search API to fetch the image search results.
