The End of Microsoft’s Bing Search APIs: Seamlessly Migrate to You.com’s Trusted Search API Solutions

With Microsoft officially retiring Bing Search APIs on August 11, 2025, developers, enterprises, and innovators everywhere are facing a critical inflection point. The old guard of search APIs — built for SEO and simple web queries — are being sunset, leaving a gap for teams who need real-time, reliable, and AI-ready access to the world’s information

Enter you.com’s Search APIs: purpose-built for the age of AI, designed to empower LLMs, agents, copilots, and next-gen research tools with factual, up-to-date data and powerful customization. Here’s why you.com is quickly becoming the leading choice for search and web APIs.
