DuckDuckGo News API
Our DuckDuckGo News API allows you to scrape SERP results from DuckDuckGo. The API is accessed through the following endpoint: /search?engine=duckduckgo_news.
A user may query the following: https://serpapi.com/search?engine=duckduckgo_news utilizing a GET request. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.
API Parameters
Localization
kl
Optional
Parameter defines the region to use for the DuckDuckGo News search. Region code examples: us-en for the United States, uk-en for United Kingdom, or fr-fr for France. Head to the DuckDuckGo regions for a full list of supported regions.
Serpapi Parameters
no_cache
Optional
Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the DuckDuckGo News results even if a cached version is already present. A cache is served only if the query and all parameters are exactly the same. Cache expires after 1h. Cached searches are free, and are not counted towards your searches per month. It can be set to false (default) to allow results from the cache, or true to disallow results from the cache. no_cache and async parameters should not be used together.
async
Optional
Parameter defines the way you want to submit your search to SerpApi. It can be set to false (default) to open an HTTP connection and keep it open until you got your search results, or true to just submit your search to SerpApi and retrieve them later. In this case, you'll need to use our Searches Archive API to retrieve your results. async and no_cache parameters should not be used together. async should not be used on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.
zero_trace
Optional
Enterprise only. Parameter enables ZeroTrace mode. It can be set to false (default) or true. Enable this mode to skip storing search parameters, search files, and search metadata on our servers. This may make debugging more difficult.
API Results
JSON Results
JSON output includes structured data for news results.
A search status is accessible through search_metadata.status. It flows this way: Processing -> Success || Error. If a search has failed, error will contain an error message. search_metadata.id is the search ID inside SerpApi.
HTML Results
This API does not have html response, just a text. search_metadata.prettify_html_file contains prettified version of result. It is displayed in playground.
