How to get same (not similar) images with Bing Visual Search API?

Question

I am trying to find where all the same image has come. For example if I have the URL to an image A, what all websites does image A appear. I tried using the Bing Visual Search API, however, it shows me similar images. Here is the code I use:

IMG_URL = '<IMAGE URL>'
url_struct  = '{"imageInfo":{"url":"' + IMG_URL + '"}}'

headers = {
    'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': '<API-KEY>',
}

params = (
    ('mkt', 'en-us'),
)

files = {
    'knowledgeRequest': (None, url_struct),
}

response = requests.post('https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/images/visualsearch', headers=headers, params=params, files=files)

I know for sure that the same image appears at at least one other place. What should i do to get the same image and not similar ones?

@Abhijith Chandran I have tried this scenario with some images and found that the pages that include the same image are available in the object 'actionType': 'PagesIncluding' in the response JSON.

This is similar to what you see in the demo page for a test image i uploaded.

 'tags': [{'actions': [{'_type': 'ImageModuleAction',  
                        'actionType': 'PagesIncluding',  
                        'data': {'value': [{'accentColor': '724534',  
                                            'contentSize': '44196 B',  
                                            'contentUrl': 'https://telugu.cdn.zeenews.com/telugu/sites/default/files/2018/09/30/174655-naiduaug27.jpg',

@romungi-MSFT Thanks!

However, here is an example of an image that I searched for. The "Pages with this" shows images that have the image but not the stock/template but the meme with an overlay of text or other modifications. I know that the input image does appear at other places in the exact form without any modifications. Is this expected behaviour or can I do something to change it?
