bing search api azure location based results

I am using the bing search api https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search to do searches and get the results back in json. This works however ....

When I do a search using the bing.com web page and search for say camping the results are biased towards my location (aberdeen)so I get campsites in aberdeen in the results. Is there any way I can add my location to the search query in the api to get the same location based results

Unfortunately this is not possible. According to their documentation you can pass in Lat / Long but it still does not bring back location based results.

I did some tests just to make sure by using their dataset explorer and it confirmed that location based results, even with a supplied lat/ long, does not work.

Example Query: https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/v1/Web?Query=%27english%20pub%27&Latitude=26.3686&Longitude=80.1000
