DuckDuckGo Maps Place Results API
The DuckDuckGo Maps Place Results API allows a user to scrape the results of a DuckDuckGo Maps search. SerpApi is able to make sense of this information and extract a place_results object.
This object can contain title, website, displayed_link, type, description, facts, thumbnail, gps_coordinates, source (containing source ID or AUID for Apple Maps), profiles and more.

"description": "London is the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom, with a population of just under 9 million. It stands on the River Thames in south-east England at the head of a 50-mile estuary down to the North Sea and has been a major settlement for two millennia. The City of London, its ancient core and financial centre, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and retains its mediaeval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has for centuries hosted the national government and parliament. Since the 19th century, the name \"London\" also refers to the metropolis around this core, historically split between the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent, and Hertfordshire, which since 1965 has largely comprised Greater London, which is governed by 33 local authorities and the Greater London Authority.",
