About this API

Custom Image Search is the image counterpart to Bing Custom Search — a tool to configure "I only want to search these domains" and run Bing's image search over that subset. Typical use cases: enterprise knowledge base (corporate site + wiki only), vertical search (medical-institution sites for specific diagrams), brand-focused (brand sites + partners only). Sunsets 2025-08-11 with the entire Bing Search API family.
