Migrated from Node.js Google to Microsoft Cognitive Services' Bing Web Search v7.
Background
tools/dataProcessor.jscurrently does multiple web searches to map each discover cashback name to a hostname. Historically, this has been done with the Node.js Google package. However, this is no longer maintained and was not working correctly when I tried updating the Discover Cashback data. As mentioned in jprichardson/node-google#63, this is honestly not the best way to be doing Google Searches.I looked into the Google Custom Search API, but that was expensive. For our use-case, I decided that the Bing Web Search API should suffice.
Testing Done
