FAQPage Schema
How do I get web search results in JSON without an API key?▼

Scraping DuckDuckGo HTML provides web search results in JSON without requiring an API key. It fetches results locally, applies domain-based trust scoring, and formats the output for downstream automation pipelines.

Does local web search work in environments with restricted API access?▼

Yes, local web search works in environments with restricted API access by scraping DuckDuckGo HTML directly. It requires no API keys and uses secure outbound HTTPS requests only to fetch results.

How does trust scoring improve DuckDuckGo HTML scraping results?▼

Trust scoring improves DuckDuckGo HTML scraping by evaluating domain credibility to surface reliable sources. This mechanism filters local web search results, ensuring the JSON output contains credible data for your pipelines.

How do I handle transient errors when scraping DuckDuckGo HTML?▼

To handle transient errors when scraping DuckDuckGo HTML, the local web search implements exponential backoff. This retry mechanism improves reliability by automatically re-attempting failed secure HTTPS requests.

What are the limitations of using DuckDuckgo HTML scraping for local web search?▼

Limitations of using DuckDuckGo HTML scraping for local web search include relying on the stability of HTML structure and rate limits. It uses secure outbound HTTPS requests only, which may restrict access behind certain firewalls.

Can I use scraped web search results for pipeline automation?▼

Yes, you can use scraped web search results for pipeline automation because the local web search outputs JSON. This structured format includes trust scores and is designed specifically for downstream processing.
