March 2026: Update

New
Today, we’re thrilled to update you on some of the newest enhancements and give you a sneak peek into what’s coming next.

​Bing Shopping API​

​Bing Shopping API​ - New engine for extracting Bing Shopping results, ads, filters, and pagination in a structured format. It includes:

  • Filters - Returns available refinements grouped by type (e.g., Brand, Price, Seller), with each option including text, filters, and a link.
  • Shopping Ads - Returns sponsored listings with title, link, seller, price / extracted_price, optional original_price, rating, reviews, extensions, offer_id, and image.
  • Shopping Results - Returns organic product listings with title, link, seller, price / extracted_price, optional rating and reviews, offer_id, and thumbnail (plus images when available).
  • Pagination - Returns current, next, and other_pages URLs for navigating result pages.
  • Suggestions - Returns related shopping queries with query, link, and optional thumbnail.

We kept key response types aligned with the Google Shopping API for easier switching and consistent integrations.

​Google Related Questions API​

The ​Google Related Questions API​ expands “People Also Ask” questions by following next_page_token chains. Starting from any Google search result’s related_questions, you can recursively discover additional questions and answers across multiple depth levels. It includes:

  • Related Questions - Each item returns question, answer, answer_highlight, date, and source (title, link, domain, displayed_link, favicon).
  • AI Overview Questions: Supports expanding questions from the AI Overview sections, not just standard PAA boxes.

​Meta Ad Library Page Info API​

The ​Meta Ad Library Page Info API​ returns advertising transparency information for a Facebook page from Meta’s Ad Library. It includes:

  • Page Info - The page object provides name, id, url, and about text.
  • Transparency Info - The pages_transparency_info object returns history_items (name changes, creation date), admin_locations with country-level admin counts, and confirmed_page_owner details.
  • Ad Library Details - The ad_library_page_info object returns profile_photo, likes, page_category, page_verification, related_pages, hidden_ads, Instagram verification status, and page_spend (lifetime and weekly spend by disclaimer).

​Google Maps Reviews​ & ​Google Maps Photos​ APIs

Both APIs have been migrated to Google’s new layout. The Google Maps Photos response is unaffected, but Google Maps Reviews includes a few breaking changes:

  • search_query has been deprecated and removed.
  • topic_id now requires a KGMID value (e.g. /m/06mbny for “Hospitality”) instead of the previous numeric topic IDs.
  • place_results is no longer returned in the response.

​MCP Tool Bundles​

We expanded our MCP integration with 14 specialized tool bundles: Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Airbnb, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Shopping, News, App Stores, and more.
