The past two weeks at SerpApi brought new features, expanded scraping capabilities, steady improvements to existing APIs, and a range of important bug fixes.

⭐️ Top Updates

DuckDuckGo Search Assist API

The newly released DuckDuckGo Search Assist API exposes the rich assistive answers shown in DuckDuckGo’s Search Assist panel, making it easy to programmatically access concise, source backed explanations for informational queries. It returns a structured search_assist object that can include direct answers, expanded answers, cited sources, related titles, abstracts, domains, and extracted entities and word ngrams. This allows developers to deliver fast, high confidence responses with clear attribution, while still retaining access to the underlying organic context. The API is especially useful for building Q&A experiences, research tools, and AI powered assistants that need reliable, transparent summaries without having to parse complex page layouts. Details
