@YanliJiangMSFT-7045 , sorry for delay response. The link you shared regarding bing services no use since this is intranet site. We want to pull external search site data to pull into our sharepoint search.

we got one error- Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository. If the repository being crawled is a SharePoint repository, verify that the account you are using has "Full Read" permissions on the SharePoint Web Application being crawled.
For this we have given external site full read permission and crawled the site. This time there is no error but, there is no success message. The data is not pulled up.

for access denied error, we tried disable loop back check and given permission internal and external site permission as permission. But, still data is not getting. We are trying to give database level as well. i hope it will work out. Not sure if anything i am missing here to crawl the data. Could please help me, How to resolve the issue
