FAQPage Schema
How do I search the web for current information without an API key?▼

You can conduct a web search for current information without an API key by using a DuckDuckGo-based interface that requires no authentication. It allows you to retrieve up-to-date web pages, news, images, and videos directly.

How do I fact-check a claim using recent web sources?▼

To fact-check a claim with recent web sources, perform a targeted search using time-range filters. This returns relevant news articles and web pages, providing the necessary URLs and titles to verify the information.

Can I get web search results formatted as JSON or markdown?▼

Yes, web search results can be returned in text, markdown, or JSON formats. You simply specify your desired output format when making the query to receive structured titles and URLs.

What is the best way to filter web search results by region and time?▼

The best way to filter web search results by region and time is to use the built-in fine-grained filters. These options allow you to narrow down queries to specific geographical areas and date ranges for tailored research.

Do I need a Python environment to run web searches for research?▼

Yes, a Python environment is required because the web search workflow is Python-based. This implementation handles the backend queries to DuckDuckGo and processes the returned search outputs.

What are the limitations of using DuckDuckGo for fact-checking research?▼

A limitation of using DuckDuckGo for fact-checking research is that it relies on a non-API interface, which may restrict result count or face rate limits. Safe search and region filters help manage but do not eliminate these constraints.
