I am currently working on a project to develop a Python-based chatbot that can retrieve search results from Bing. However, my efforts have been hindered by the outdated Python 2 code and reliance on Google API in most available resources online. The catch is, I am located in China where access to YouTube, Google, Azure, Microsoft Docs, and all related platforms is restricted. My ideal output for the search results would look like this:
This is the title
https://this-is-the-link.com
This is the second title
https://this-is-the-second-link.com
Below is the snippet of code I have tried so far:
import requests
import bs4
import re
import urllib.request
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
page = urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.bing.com/search?q=programming")
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.read())
links = soup.findAll("a")
for link in links:
print(link["href"])
However, the current output I receive is not what I expected:
/?FORM=Z9FD1
javascript:void(0);
javascript:void(0);
/rewards/dashboard
/rewards/dashboard
javascript:void(0);
/?scope=web&FORM=HDRSC1
/images/search?q=programming&FORM=HDRSC2
/videos/search?q=programming&FORM=HDRSC3
/maps?q=programming&FORM=HDRSC4
/news/search?q=programming&FORM=HDRSC6
/shop?q=programming&FORM=SHOPTB

If anyone has insights or suggestions on how to improve this (I'm using Python 3.6.9 on Ubuntu), I would greatly appreciate it.
