I have a problem when trying request bing rss. My request example is https://www.bing.com/search?count=10&q=adh&format=rss. The results returned are not stable. Sometimes it shows with many items sometimes doesn't(You can change keywords for more). Do you know what is the reason? Does Bing still support rss?

It could be rate limitation. From your script you could check if the results returned are empty, if yes then send a request again.
Request content directly also return empty sometimes
.maybe your IP has been blocked, try with different IP or proxiesRequest content directly also return empty sometimes
use curl instead file_get_contents
spoof user_agent & cookies in curl setup
I already did all those methods. It worked perfectly before and the problem just appeared 2 days ago.
I've tested re-request but in few cases my script should doing the loop in more than 20 times.

I get the same unstable results as you when using your example, and other keywords. So...it's not rate limiting as I only requested the feed about 5 times. Which means altrenating your IP/UA/cokies is unlikely to resolve it. I would guess it is a bug within Bing that has recently come into play. For now, repeating the request upon an emty result set seems to be the only way round it.
I think it's a bug from Bing or maybe "new feature". I already updated my code by repeating but I am on the way to find better solution. Repeating requires a lot of resources because to be honest i am using Bing Search directly in my site.
