Binger

Binger is a command-line tool that automates Bing search queries and extracts result URLs. The tool utilizes Selenium WebDriver with Chrome to perform searches and navigate through result pages.

Features

• Perform automated Bing searches using custom queries
• Extract and display unique result URLs
• Navigate through multiple pages of search results
• Configurable maximum page load limit
• Headless browser operation for background execution

Prerequisites

Before using Binger, ensure you have the following installed:

• Go 1.18 or later
• ChromeDriver (must be in your PATH or in the same directory as the executable)
• Chrome browser

Installation

Option 1: Using go install

go install github.com/gilsgil/binger@latest

Option 2: Building from source

git clone https://github.com/gilsgil/binger.git
cd binger
go build

Usage

binger -q "your search query"

Command Line Options

• -q: (Required) The search query to perform on Bing
• -c: (Optional) Maximum number of "Next page" clicks to perform (default: 10000)
• -v: (Optional) Enable verbose output for debugging and status updates

Examples

Basic search:

binger -q "golang tutorials"

Search with limited page navigation (5 pages):

binger -q "cybersecurity news" -c 5

Search with verbose output:

binger -q "cloud computing" -v

Output

The tool prints discovered unique URLs to standard output, one per line. This format makes it easy to pipe the results to other tools or save them to a file.

Example:

binger -q "golang projects" > golang_urls.txt

Notes

• The tool operates in headless mode by default, meaning no browser window will be visible during execution
• Binger includes built-in delays to respect Bing's rate limits and allow pages to load properly
• URLs are deduplicated, so each unique URL is only reported once
