ready to build with.
Retrieve DuckDuckGo search results with locale support, bounded pagination and validated links.
Another independent result set.
Extend web research with DuckDuckGo results from ScrapingDog. Continuation tokens are handled by the adapter, with page limits and duplicate detection to prevent repeated paid fetches.
Available results
Organic results and supported locale filters.
Supported parameters
country, language, page, maxPage, safe, timePeriod
Parameter support varies by offering. The API checks capability before routing. Free queries may choose an engine and use shared cached results with automatic routing. Firehose Lite is available to free users; Advanced requires paid access, including cached results. Provider selection and fast/cheap preferences require credits. Free live searches use the daily allowance. Firehose manages its own routing.
