Even Bing can't make outbound HTTP requests - it can only access cached snapshots of pages held in the Bing search index. I confirmed this on Twitter with one of the Bing execs: https://twitter.com/mparakhin/status/1628646262890237952

Cool, I really hope they open this up. It feels like being able to restrict it to either a subset of public pages or private data would immediately be extremely useful and only a small conceptual change from what's there.

I just built this locally over our RFCs and it's good but a properly integrated thing would be fantastic.
